What's sad about being a quilter...
#82
I have been given 2 hand made quilts, first one from my MOM and the other from a long time friend, she doesn't quilt any more so I need to give her a special quilt that I've
made. love both, have the one MOM made me in my quilt display box ,the other I use on the guest twin bed.
love and treasure both. Mom is gone now so her's is the last I'll get. She taught me to sew and quilt. God Bless

I haven't gotten any quilts, but after I made my nephew a quilt ( i had made one for his other 3 siblings) my sister knitted me an afhgan and sent a very sweet note to say that after making quilts for the 23 nieces and nephews she wanted me to have something handmade as well.

I've gotten small items ... totes, a tablerunner and a cute wall quilt. But not a quilt to be used ... and thinking about it, I've made mostly smaller gifts for quilt buddies myself ... Time is the factor !
I'm lucky to have several quilts my grandmothers made, and my aunt gave me an antique quilt and a top she'd been given :)

My prize quilt is one my group made for me.
We each made a center block and brought all the fabric needed for a quilt then passed it to the next person who did a row.
Each person in the group worked on the quilt.
We did not see our quilt till it was done.
It was fun and a real keepsake.
It us sad that none of my family quilts.

Actually, I have been given 4-one was given to me by my mother for our wedding, she gave me a second one that was a beautiful hand made crazy quilt and my grandmother has given me 2, one that she made when she was 14 years old. And I have a 7 yr old granddaughter that made a quilt square in school and she gave it to me to use in my quilting-though it now hangs in my sewing room as a picture.
