In January 2010 I set out to make quilts for all my grandchildren (14) in all but was only able to complete 7. All of my grandchildren live in other states so I shipped the quilts to them, just in time to receive for Christmas. On Christmas day I received telephone calls from all of them and I could hear the smiles on their faces and the happiness they felt in receiving the quilts. I shared with each of them that there were lots of prayers and hugs in the quilt and I may not be there in person but each time they sleep under the quilt know that I am with them. In 2011 I will make every effort to complete the other 7 quilts along with quilts for my grown children (4). A busy year ahead I can see already.

Wonderful story! It makes it all worth it, doesn't it?

Your story is so sweet. You probably gave him more love by making something for him than he has ever felt.

What is the quote? If you can make a difference in one child's life etc. You have just done that and it may make all the difference in the world for him. You go girl!!! So proud of you.

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.

I think quilts express love than most anything else. Lucky boy to have your love. :thumbup:

Being a foster child he probably has not had very gifts that were for him specifically, it was a wonderful gift you gave him; he will treasure that quilt forever.

That's really kind of you. I'm sure he will treasure it.

Way to go!! Isn't it great to make a change in someone's life? He will remember you forever.

Now that is an unspoiled gentleman. Lucky lady who lands him!! Big hug to him from Nana Maurene! It is so nice to hear about a young fellow like him. Hope he goes far in life!!
