I designed a quilt for my late brother in law, used EQ6. I knew he would appreciate it but when he received it he called me and was almost beside himself with gratitude. He knows the value of art and purchased the work of local artists. Fred was somewhat of a "grumpy old man" so this call really made my year. As good as the call, a few weeks later I got a pkg from him, 1lb. dried cherries, 1lb chocolate covered dried cherries and a lb of his famous fudge. The cherries, by the way, came from Traverse City, Mi. Yummmm.

The best compliment I ever received was from my oldest grandson. The grandkids always loved my soup. They would rather have the soup made after Christmas using the turkey carcass than they would have Christmas dinner. They used to ask me (after they were grown and moved away) to make a pot of soup and freeze some for them. When Chris was 12 years old and I was teaching him how to make Chicken Noodle Soup, he looked at me and said, "Granny, you could put Campbells out of business".
Sorry, I have another one that ranks right up there. When my DH and I re-met (we were high school sweethearts) after being apart for 45 years, he looked at me and said, "You are just as beautiful as you always were. I would have recognized you anywhere." Of course, there were several pounds added and the hair was almost white, but he was looking through different eyes than the world does.

My husband of 56 yrs is always great with compliments....so that is a constant.
But the one that stands out came in the form of a letter from a DD going thru a rough time with her husband.She wrote us about her decision,saying how hard it was to make, because"all she'd ever wanted was a marriage like ours". It brought tears to my eyes & still does. That letter is in my box of important papers. Thank you MA.

When I found out a friend of mine had saved all the dresses I had made for her girls as they grew up and when her oldest daughter said she couldn't wait until she had a daughter who would get her own "Aunt Jeanie" dresses.

When I re-sized a wedding dress. The Mom was a size 14 and her daughter (my best friend) was a size 4. I took the whole dress apart and resewed it so she could wear it on her wedding day. She just cried and cried when I gave it back to her. Of course, I was the maid of honor in that wedding too !!
