oh man,sniffing here too, now. Shes not been gone but a few months, so its still kinda hard to be without her. We were co workers together before I had to have open heart surgery, and she encouraged me during my convelescence .. i guess quilting is a way for me to surround myself with positive's now, because her quilt was one that made me decide I could make beautiful things.. the quilt photo i attached was the one I did for her..

My grandson in his early 30's asked if I could please make him another quilt. It seems the boat quilt I made for him when he was about 5 was so worn he had to pull it up very carefully or he could hear the threads breaking in the fabrics. HA! Now that's what you call a well loved quilt. Did he get another one, yes indeed, on the double!

It is so beautiful!! I can almost feel the love myself!!

thank you..

Ya'll are going to have me crying....
So on a lighter note:
Made a Q for new SIL and then were told it kept going missing, turns out her son, kept taking off with it, It was the greatest thing he'd ever slept in! So one year made one for him and his br. Let him pick the one he wanted, funny part was he picked the one, I thought he'd want. Am told he sleeps in it every night. Yes, that child will be kept in quilts for life !!!

We have had 4 exchange students & I made them each a quilt for Christmas while they were with us. The 1st boy was from Brazil & said that it would be too warm, but he wanted to hang it on the wall so he would think of me every day. The 2nd girl was from Germany. She asked me to teach her to quilt the first week she was here & she made a quilt to send to her parents for Christmas. When she opened the quilt I made for her, she could hardly talk because she was so surprised. She couldn't figure out how I made it without her knowing. In pictures she has sent since she went home (5 years ago), the quilt is still on her bed!

I made a memory quilt for a family that lost their son. I never heard how they liked the quilt until today. I went to visit the family and found it crumpled on the couch so they could snuggle under it and feel closer to Ryan. I almost cried it was my first quilt I made with pictures on it and I was not sure it was the best quilt I could have made them. Just to know they wrap themselves in it is thanks enough!

I made a quilt for a little girl who is my friend's granddaughter. The girl's mother sent me the loveliest card and she wrote "I can't believe that you would make a quilt for my family. I am very grateful." It is THE nicest thing anyone has ever said and I feel she truly appreciated the work and the love that went into it. I will always remember that.

Most everyone is appreciative and have good things to say but my most favorite is the Harley-Davidson T-shirt quilt I made for my son.

He loves it, he cherishes it and he talks about it to everyone....

would never make another but this one was worth every moment spent on it.

The lady who is the head of our dog section of the humane society I volunteer with was diagnosed with breast cancer. I made her a quilt with all different dog prints on it out of flannel. I didn't deliver it a good friend of hers did, I had just told her I was sending a small gift. She loved it and said This is a SMALL Gift?? Thank you so much ( she is not a demonstrative person) But every time I have to stop by her house it is over the back of the recliner she sits in. She has other health problems now due to the chemo but she is cancer free. For her to keep it out all the time and use it is the best thank you I could ever have. OH and her standard poodle Baxley tries to steal it LOL
