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.

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.

But I do use a few drops of shampoo for handwash on occassion.
And so happy they love their quilts!
