Merry Christmas friends... Please tell us how everyone loved their new quilt?

My Mom and Grandmother LOVED Their quilts!! So much so that the double weddingring quilt is now used as artwork :)

My DH loved his scrappy quilt. Hopefully he'll stop stealing my favorite power nap quilt now that he has one of his own!

The grandboys snuggled up in theirs, actually, right after they had jammies on they asked for their quilts and were alseep in less than 5 minutes.

I made my first quilt and it was for my niece. She loved it!! I told her it was my first and it was a little off, but she said she didn't care that she loved it and would use it tonight.

I made my oldest daughter a Christmas Tree wallhanging and sent it off to her. It was a surprise as I had already sent her another gift. She has never been very interested in my sewing and quilting projects , but she loved the wallhanging and called me right away when she got it, I could hear in her voice that she really did love it and I was very touched that she was so pleased by something that I had made especially for her.

Two of my DGSs will be getting their quilts in about an hour.
Cross your fingers!

I am sure that they will love them :) Merry Christmas :)

My mom and MIL both *cried*! They loved them. I made a set of oven mitts, place mats and pot holders for my brother, and he also loved the set! Next Christmas the Dad's are getting quilts, and my Grandmother...I really should have done one for her this year, I just didn't have time...

I made a table topper, coasters, hot pad and apron for DIL, and I wasn't that happy with them and she has great taste, so I actually was hesitent to give them to her, but she said she really loved them and while she might have been being nice, I think she was pleased. She commented on how pretty the fabric was, said she would have it on her table today. Little granddaughter, Sydney, was so happy with her Amer. Girl doll and the clothes I made for it. She slowly looked at each one, and then she put on the matching nightgowns. I know she was happy!!

My husband absolutely loved his steam train quilt!!

Merry Christmas ti all. GS loved his flannel quilt. DD & Son-in-Law were thrilled with the quits I helped their daughters make. Not a dry eye in the house.

awww....too sweet

Love hearing about everyones gifts being loved & appreciated.Know you all worked hard to get them done.

My Mom and my sister both loved their quilts.........my sister's actually brought tears to her eyes - my mom is already looking forward to putting her on her bed...it makes it all worth while.... :-)

Glad you got a great response to your quilts.

I would really like to see a picture of your steam train quilt. I want to make one for my Dh. Thanks

My Mom loved her quilt and her quicky lap dog quilt! It made it all worth it!

There is always a time for a gift just because. The surprise gifts are always wonderful gifts. You never know when someone just needs to be reminded they are loved. Don't wait for next Christmas!

I made three fleece tied bed size blankets for three boys and they loved them. They kept asking you made this? For Me? Each had the design of their favorite sports team.

I made my daughter's best friend a quilt and my daughter told me she cried when she gave it to her. Sure is nice when they appreciate the work you have put in it.

I sent my dad in Ohio, who was an avid fisherman, now in a nursing home, a flannel quilt made from fabric with a fishing/camping theme. His email back to me said: "...THANK YOU FOR COOKIES AND ESPECIALY THE QUILT WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOW PUTS ME TO SLEEP THINKING OF CAMPING AND FISHING !!!"

(for some reason, he always shouts now in his emails ... all caps!)

I had fun making this one for him.

Thanks, everyone, this is such a nice, heartwarming post. I made mug rugs for everyone in my office and I got a great response. When I was wrapping them, I was thinking each one is a miniature quilt. They were wonderful practice binding- my miters are so much better now~ Merry Christmas!

My cousin loved her throw. I used lots of shades of purple and green, because when we go on our annual shopping expedition, she has a problem finding clothes in the 'right' shade of purple and she likes a certain shade of green for kitchen accessories. My nephew loved the throw I made him with Boy Scout fabric. At the time I was planning his quilt, I could only find one licensed print in stock, online and local. So I got that and found a yellow fabric printed with arrows which brought to mind 'the order of the Arrow' for scouts. He is 9 years old and has a lot of earned patches and his mother said he needs something to sew his patches to. This fits the bill and as a nice year old, I was surprised he studied it close enough to recognize the print, with all the toys he did get for Christmas!

My niece's 3 kids all loved their quilts. For the oldest (6) I made a barbie quilt with a pillowcase and made a smaller bow tuck purse to go with it. She said she loved it. The boy (4) said wow and then put it in the bag again. By the way when he said wow he was looking at the back and hadn't even seen all the monster trucks on the front and the little one(3) loved the sunbonnet sue quilt. My sister had to take it away so she could open her other gifts. I also made her a 3ft Christmas stocking that the quilt was in. Both my sister and niece thought they were gorgeous and my niece said she just might have to borrow the barbie quilt as she loved the colors.

I don't know yet. USPS Priority Mail service did not get my package to NC on Thurs as expected, so friends left Thurs night for GA without it. :( Hopefully it has arrived by the time they get back on Monday. They will forward the quilts to their daughters in GA & HI for me. Guess I will find out Monday if the package arrived and next year if the kids liked the quilts. :)

I made rag quilts for my MIL and GrandMIL (104 yrs old!) and they loved them! I also made kitchen towel sets of 2 towels and a potholder for my DD, DS, and DH with special-to-them embroidered designs. Also have some for some friends we will see later during the holidays.
This was for a wedding, and not Christmas, but gave a special Texas Hill Country quilt to a friend last week. She cried.
I love to give these works of my hands away. It just feels right, doesn't it?

My dil just started tearing up with joy when she received her quilt..You can't buy that at Wallyworld! My son's girlfiend, hasn't take her scarf off that I made her since she opened the gift Thursday nite. She wore it to work even, and today she brought her blankie that I made her to travele to family today. So much pleasure to see her
curled up in the back seat asleep and warm, with her treasures. Yep, I like this homemade stuff!

I made lap quilts for my 2 DD's, 1 GD and a baby quilt for a DGGD. All were loved & appreciated. GD was immediately wrapped up in hers according to her mom. :) Haven't heard from the other daughter. She had a housefull all day long.

I made smaller quilts for two grandies, and a jewelry bag for each of them. I have to give credit to CarrieAnne, my order for butterflies arrived at the perfect time. Took the butterflies to town with us and the girls picked out the one they wanted on their bag! The 7YO sat beside me as I stitched her choice on her bag. She thoughtfully asked, "Grandma, would you please teach me how to sew those?" The next hour was a time I'll never forget. She caught on very fast, and sat next to me sewing and asking questions. The three of us were excited that the butterflies were so beautiful, as the girls shared the pack picking which ones they wanted me to use for them. Now I have two packs with a name on them! Thank you CarrieAnne, you're a jewel!

My son loved his blue jean rag quilt I made him and my daughter loved her throw I made her (she had a toothache and felt terrible all day). My GD loved her cat pillowcase and small swing bag I made her. Great day all around.

Made quilts for 2 GS which were very well received so I'm told. Unfortunately they live on the other side of the country so we don't get to see them very often. At least with quilts I can wrap them in love and warmth. Asked other 2 GS if they would like quilts for next Christmas and was given most enthusiastic "Yes please,Nanna"
Have already decided what other goodies I'm going to make for all women in the family. These as well as a couple of quilts I've had on the back burner should keep my machines sewing this year. Can't wait. (Quilts will be posted in pictures)
