    I have been an officer in out church women's ministry for many years and tonight was our meeting. Well, it is hard to pull something over on me, but they MADE ME A QUILT!!! I was absolutely SHOCKED. It was custom made for me with Christ at the center, next I am married to a volunteer foreman, we have classic cars, next, I love to sew, I love to sing in church. The border represents my love for cooking and the flowers are just for me. Isn't it great? We have given away 5 of these Around the World quilts already this year, but I never thought I would be on the receiving end.

    Receiving a quilt is one of the best gifts EVER!!! Especially one you can look at for years to come, knowing it was made with love, all with you in mind. Enjoy :)
