quilt found a good home
 

I still have a couple dozen of the tiny piece quilts my late DH made and have been trying to dispose of them, mainly to charity fundraisers. But it is discouraging knowing they don't bring much in.

When I moved back to Vermont I reconnected with a fellow quilter that we had both known before, she is alone like me and lives one town away. She was nice enough to give up half her day to take me in for an outpatient procedure at the hospital, when I couldn't drive myself due to anesthesia hangover (hospital rules). Wouldn't take any money, not even for gas.

So I gave her one of the quilts. I let her pick it out. I had been wanting to give her one anyway as she was a big fan of our quilting and I knew it would be very appreciated. It is a tiny piece Log Cabin but each strip is made of tiny squares.

Win-win situation and as a bonus we will probably be getting together for Thanksgiving. So nice to have a new (old) friend !

That is a very sweet story. It put a smile on my face. Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow! What an amazing quilt! And now you have a good friend, too!

Beautiful quilt, kind friends, wonderful happenstance and such thoughtfulness on your part, thank you for telling us.

A generous gift from you to a good friend who will appreciate having known you and your work. Treasures all the way around!

What a beautiful log cabin quilt! It is great that you have reconnected with with a quilty friend. Shared kindness between friends.

That is an amazing quilt. Beautiful quilt & lovely story to go with it.

What a beautiful quilt and beautiful story! I can't even imagine the work that went into creating it. Tiny pieces and it looks like it was all put together by hand sewing it and then hand quilting. What a talented hubby. So glad for you that someone will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! That made my morning! :)

This story warms my heart just like a quilt warms my body. So happy for you!!! And I love the quilt.

What a wonderful payment for her kindness.

This is one of those sweet-sad-kind-happy stories.

Wow, what a treasure. That will be a wonderful keepsake for generations to come. I cannot imagine all that tiny piecing.

What a WIN for everyone! She picked a beauty.

I was thinking the same thing

great story.....and like log cabins aren't hard enough to piece properly, that one takes it to a whole new level!

OH my goodness, what a fabulous quilt. And a wonderful thank-you gift. We modern-day quilters don't usually use such tiny pieces and they are so wonderful to see.

A great story and lovely quilt! I am glad it went to someone who will love it!

Wow! The quilt is fantastic, so glad it found a new home and you a new friend.

Beautiful quilt.

So happy your quilt has a new home and you're reunited with an old friend! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Together!

Beautiful quilt and a happy new chapter for you both!

Wow, I've never seen a log cabin made like that. It is lovely--and glad you have found a lovely friend.

Oh that is lovely. both the quilt and the friend. i miss my newly made friend in Colorado. we were going everywhere together but i had to move back to Texas to be with my son and granddtrs. Have a great ThanksGiving!!!

Very nice story.

Great that you and your friend have rekindled the friendship. Sounds like you two have some sweet memories, and more good times ahead. Lovely quilt by your hubby.

A wonderful story and a truly amazing quilt. Your husband just keeps giving you love to share with others. Lucky lady and enjoy your old new found friendship.

I am so thrilled that you two reconnected. I am so sorry for your loss.

Wonderful story, made my day...so nice to give a quilt and know its appreciated...

Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, just incredibly wow! What a job that quilt must have been to make. The hours it must have taken. Impressive work.

quilts do bring both friendship and love to our lives. Glad you found both the friend and the new home for the quilt. It is a wonderful little quilt. i can't even hold little pieces like that so I really appreciate the care and artistry that went into it.

This is why I took up quilting. It does seem hard to find people who grasp what goes into a quilt. So happy that you were able to share such beauty with someone who appreciates it.
