WOW! What a compliment! You must be special and love the Lord like I do. He can give us inspiration. I've made a series of Christian quilts...wish we could quilt together.

I got a valentine "book" from my grandson and in it he wrote of his vacation with grandma last summer and the last page drew tears to my eyes! He said 'grandma is the best 4-wheeling grandma in the whole world'.............. he would ride with me to feed the goats - so it was not a race or showing off type ride; all business and he loved it! Along with each page in teh book he drew pictures of the topic - it included fishing, cookie baking, and grandma on the 4-wheeler - THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT I EVER RECEIVED!
But, then he also had 3 quilts I have made for him and he does not sleep with less than one on his bed summer or winter. |
These are all so heart-warming to read :)

from my daughter - she tells me I'm the best mom she's ever had!
|
years ago when my daughter Lori was a teenager, she and her friend Lori were always together. I cooked all the time and the other Lori's mother, coming from a rich family, played tennis all day and feed her kids TV dinners. The other Lori asked my Lori if she wanted to trade moms and my Lori told her "heck NO"
|
When my daughter told me I was her best friend. I have never been happier.
|
About 14 years ago I made a small quilt for a GN for show and tell a simple four patch, She is still using it today.
|
When my grandkids say, grandmas' cooking is always good because she makes it with love.
|
I made my DGS a quilt and he wrapped it around himself and rolled on the floor with it (he was 5) He is now 10 and still loves it.
|
about a month ago, I woke up and our 5 yr old Payton (who had snuck into our bed apparently lol) was just sittin there starin at me and let out a sigh and said "Mommy, your beautiful." Have a feeling my little charmer is goin to be a lady's man when he grows up :)
|
I recently made a teal and white quilt for a 37 yr old friend with cervical cancer. Teal and white are the colors for cervical cancer. On the back of the quilt I embroidered a label with the cancer awareness ribbon in teal and wrote the words "I wear Teal for a friend." She loves the label as much as the quilt. Really got to me.
|
Mine was my first large quilt, a queen size, all dogs fabric with a picture of my GS's dog in the middle. He was 13 at the time. It wasn't what he said, it was the look on his face! I will remember it always; it was better than words. His jaw dropped open and his eyes got huge. He just sat there and then broke out in the most beautiful smile. That said it all!

When a friend (Jan) told everyone
at the table at one of our singles dance that "Judy make the most beautiful quilts ever". 2nd best. My Sister said I could make something out of nothing and it would be nice. J J |
When my twenty-something son asks for yet another quilt.....I think he is pushing at least 2 a year!
|
Still waiting....
|
You can sense the love of Jesus in your quilts!
It doesn't get any better than that for me. |
when my youngest daughter found a wedding dress, that was to small for her...and she bought it anyway, told the lady " no problem My mom can make it fit"I hung it in between my sewing room and the living room doors and looked at it for a week ....few nasty words left my mouth.then out of the clear blue...I made it work.
and she was so pretty ...her dress cost less then $50.00to buy and remake. |
My best compliment in recent memory was from my DIL. She said she saw me as a confident woman. This sure did not fit my past.
|
When my DH compliments me on my cooking,how hard I worked on te farm with him
and how I "put up w/ his father after his Mom passed away. His father was a sweetheart so it wasn't all that difficult!!!! |
when the four year old granddaughter (as they are leaving on sunday afternoon) asks, "what are we going to make next week, grandma?!"
|
When my girlfriend of many years says "and you still don't have any wrinkles"...thank you mom, dad and God!
|
When my oldest son who was 41 called to thank me and was in tears as he was so happy with his quilt. It was all 70's colors as he was my only flower child...LOL. Everytime I walked past it, I started singing Yellow Submarine and sent the Beatles CD with the quilt. He was raised on Beatles music. I embroidered a peace sign in the corner plus a label to reflect the time,1967 when he was born.
|
When my son posted his wife's picture on facebook wearing the wedding dress I had made her 15 years ago. she has recently lost alot of weight and her wedding dress is huge on her now. He wrote a comment on the picture that his mother made the dress and handbeaded all the lace. Several people commented about how beautiful it was. Then the other day, their daughter (my beautiful granddaughter who is 10) asked me if I would make her wedding dress because she will be taller than her mom and her dress would be too short. She said maybe we could use some of the same beaded lace since I will be too old to handbead all that lace again! But even that was a compliment to me!

I think mine was this weekend!! I made the attached family history wall hanging for my mother in-laws 80th birthday. I gave it to her on Friday and she wanted it displayed during the party for everyone to see. Now...I have 20 people that wants one...LOL
|
I made a photo quilt of the family for my FIL 80th birthday. He never used it to cover up - he wanted to hang it on the wall. He was a carpenter and made a beautiful quilt hanger for it. It was proudly displayed in their home. When he died in March at the age of 90, they draped the quilt on the altar at his funeral. That made me so proud and so glad I made it for him.
Also, yesterday after church, my 7 YO GS asked if I would be a sponsor at church day camp. I told him I thought I was too old (I'm 64) but he said I was a fun old person! |
When my challenge wall hanging won the Viewers Choice award in its category at the quilt show
|
We celebrated my birthday this past weekend....I had been sick and missed mothers day and and my real birthday. We have been married 43 years. When I opened the cake box.....it said. "Happy Birthday Sweetie",melted my heart.
|
When my 16 yr. old daughter told me, "You're the best mother anyone could ever have", and I hadn't done anything for her nor bought her anything.
|
I received an unexpected compliment last month in April when a friend that I started taking quilting classes with about 15 years ago, belongs to the same sewing guild that I do. She said, "Pat I have watched you grow into a wonderful quilter." I remember when we took our first class together in a quilt shop with an elementary pattern. We didn't know a thing. She said this while she was giving a demonstration in front of everyone!. It really made my day. evening, next day, well you get the idea. It was totally unexpected.
Oh enough already. |
I would be honored to have one of your quilts
|
I would be honored to have one of your quilts. oops thought you meant a quilt compliment
|
2nd best was when dh said I was the most beautiful person he knew...inside and out..ahh maybe that was first
|
When my sisters friend looked at the quilt and said she was really lucky to have someone who loved her so much. I did and I do.
|
In 2008 my DMIL wrote in my B-day card, "They say beautiful people make beautiful things, your quilts reflect that this is true"
