Ahh, so glad you shared your story. That is heart warming! Especially to hear that from young men & truck drivers! Sweet! And you were so kind to help them out. Also, heart warming!

Quilts on the road....another use we didn't know about, until now....keeping a part of home near by when far away from where your heart is....thank you for this insight...

Good for you and lucky for them! Did you go to any fabric stores in SLC.

Very nice of you. I was a owner/operator (truck driver) for many years. Yes ptquilts, this is a nice way to stay connected to home. Something truckers never seem to get enough of. Long Arm you did a big thing. We truckers move America but are often looked at as second class citizens. I can attest that he felt more more than happy for getting his quilt clean, the touch of human kindness goes a long way. Thank you for helping him!

Can you only begin to imagine the stories those quilts could tell.......and the miles they have traveled !!!;)

What a great story! Who would have thought? Wouldn't those Grandmothers be proud of their traveling quilts?

Thanks for sharing this heart warming story. There is nothing better than wrapping up in the quilt Grandma made for you, no matter how old you are!
