    "Did you MAKE this?" Like there was no way possible I could have made something so lovely. (:

    I made my dad quilt for Christmas and he kept it in the car for the first month showing it off where ever he went.

    A quilt as a wedding gift to my niece last month. She wrote, it's one of my favourite gifts ever. I appreciate the time, work and love that you put into it.

    I think the tears that my grown niece and nephew cried when I gave them their quilts was more than any words could express.

    A young couple that got a quilt from me as a wedding gift has told me and on separate occasions my daughters that their quilt was the their favorite wedding gift (and it was a big wedding)

    My nephew was just here for the 4th, he's now 15 and I gave him his quilt about 3 years ago, he brought it with him and told me that he just loves his quilt and sleeps with it every night and that's why he brought it down with him cause he didn't want to go without! He gave me a huge hug when he told me this!!!

    I made a quilt using a panel for my great-nephew. His mom said she was going to hang it up in his room, and she did. I was really touched by that.

    Although I object to the sentiment behind the remarks, I had a child's quilt that I made for our guild's Philanthropy project. I'd hand embroidered Sunbonnet Sue squares on it, with every Sue a different skin tone. One of the members looked at it and said "It's way too nice and well done to give it to charity. You should keep it or sell it because it's beautiful." I scolded her and said that the recipients at the women's shelter are exactly the kind of people who need something nice. I still picture a delighted little girl getting that quilt and loving it.

    Made a quilt for my BIL's 70th B-day. He is not demonstrative when receiving gifts, but he hug me real tight and got all choked up...and said, " I can't believe you did this for me.."

    # Made a quilt for my daughter-in-law, tears in her eyes and hugging me all she could say was "I love you". She didn't have to say or do anything else.
    # Son came to visit and saw a baby quilt in pinks with teddy bears I'd made (they don't have children). He said 'I don't care what anyone says Ma, but I love that quilt, don't you ever give it away' Needless to say he and wife went home with that and 3 other quilts all of which they display or use along with the original I had made for his wife.
