Isn't it wonderful to hear a story like that. The first quilts I made for my kids are still with them. My daughter is planning to give our 2 year old granddaughter - Zoe - her quilt as an heirloom - it was a full size quilt and the only one that I was able to handquilt before carpal tunnel got the best of me. I wish I had a quilt that my Mother made, but unfortunately, with 7 children the quilts were "worn out". Thanks for sharing that story and for taking the time to see that the quilts were properly washed.

Great story!! The grandmas would be so happy to know their quilts are loved.

Awe, that's so sweet!

I hope the people who get my quilts feel like this....I will truly be immortal...

Very nice story I enjoyed reading! You are typical of the people that post here, helpful and thoughtful!

I'm wondering about the shampoo he was planning on using to wash. I wonder if this was his first time to wash?? I'm so glad you were there to come to the rescue :>)

How nice is that!!!!

Those quilts had to give a lot of comfort to those long haul truckers. Having a family connection makes the lonely days not quite so lonely. You were so thoughtful in helping with the washing, and because of it you were able to come away with a heart warming story that all of us can appreciate. Thanks to you and to them.

We never know where a gift of love may eventually end up

Same thought I had, I could just visualize those washers overflowing if they had used shampoo.
But I do use a few drops of shampoo for handwash on occassion.
And so happy they love their quilts!
