What's sad about being a quilter...

NO, not true. I have received quilts from other quilters. My first one was in a friendship group, and a friend gave me a beautiful Apple quilt in the birthday exchange. The second was a prayer quilt made by a church when I had eye surgery, and at our last meeting, for no reason at all Corey gave me a beautiful quilt she had made as a gift of Spirit from a loving person. Corey does beautiful LA quilting and has made many wonderful quilts. She is a member on QB and of our guild. I am blessed to have such generous friends. :)

I have one quilt that was given to me but it was not made especially for me it was one my mother made for my dad and when he died she gave it to me, I really do cherish it. I have made quilts for all my family and also have some in a craft shop.

I made a silk quilt for my college friend after we went on a trip to Asia a couple of years ago. She was sooooooooo excited because, you are soooooooo right, no one ever made a quilt for her before! She actually kept petting my arm all day she was so excited! It made me feel so very pleased because she knew all of the love and effort that went into it. I feel great just thinking about it.

You can do the doll quilt swap. I just love getting the small quilts.
