beautiful quilts and such a nice thing to do for your friends. I recently gave a quilt to a friend for her birthday and I showed it to my sister-in-law first. And she said "oh you know how picky she is" and made me think twice about giving it. I felt is was special for her as she was born on flag day and the quilt had flags on it. Anyway, I gave it to her and she loved it. She tells everyone it was the most special gift she has ever received from anyone (I'm sure anyone other than her family but she never adds that) She said she has just the wall for it. And sure enough, she went on-line and bought a special quilt holder and has it on display. It is really a nice feeling when someone really appreciates the work and effort put into something that you make for them. Anyway, I am sure that your friends will just love their gifts too.

Great quilts and poem, what special thing ya'll share. I am still friends w/one school mate, we met in the 5th grade, 37 yrs ago.

Your quilts are beautiful! I have a friend who I met when we were in the 4th grade. We will be 65 this year too!

That is such a sweet gesture! I know they will be thrilled. I surely would.

Ditto.......................

What lucky friends. 1952 was a "popular" year........ask me how I know.:thumbup:

Wow, that's a lot of quilts but how special to have so many long lasting friendships. Each quilt is wonderful and I'm sure each friend will be delighted with your thoughtfulness.

What a great thing to do. I love purple so my favorite is the first one. I, also, have two friends from high school and have given them quilts. (but I didn't make them!!)

Great inscription.

Wow....that is so sweet...luv your poem!

Always wondered what the wives are doing,when they sit in the back of the motorcycle, lol. You put the time to excellent use. Beautiful quilts, beautiful quilting, it's got friendship written all over it. Happy birthday to all of you.
My class mates had a big meeting when we turned 65 and it so happened there was a big event in town, and international garden and flower show, we all went and had a great time. Whatever ,you all will do, it will be great.

Amazing quilts, awesome group of friends.

Wow come back tell us the rest of your story that full with all love and respect to others .

You never tell us how big R your beautiful quilts

Your former classmates will love those. Great job!

That is great, I don't know which is the greatest thing to celebrate, turning 65 or the idea that you all have managed to stay friends for all of these years. That's rare. Congratulations and happy 65th.

What a wonderful group you must be. The quilts are beautiful; I especially like the purple one.

This is a wonderful and kind gesture. The quilts are beautiful and will be treasured for sure.

Just beautiful!! Congratulations to you all for meeting this wonderful milestone birthday. And to friendships that last the span of time!! I raise my glass to you and your friends. Happy Birthday!!

Wow, they sure are lucky girls ! Such beautiful gifts & a truly touching label. Congrats to you all for staying friends all these years. I have a BFF for over 50 years & I am in the middle of making her a lap quilt to celebrate her 70th birthday. I hope she likes hers as much as your friends are going to love yours.

They are all lovely quilts, and love your poem. I am fortunate to have two friends from high school that I am still friends with. In fact one of them lives just 1 & 1/2 miles from me. We are in our mid 70's now so one of them has been my friend for 60 years! Amazing.

Absolutely perfect quilts. Love them all.

Great quilts and wonderful story of friendship! Couldn't bring home much fabric but I hope you had some shipped!

Great quilts and I love the poem as well.

What a wonderful friend you are. It's lovely to see people remain friends for so long. Being a military wife and moving every couple of years I never had that type of friendships. I have however three very close friends, one I met 20 years ago this Easter and after having only known each other for 5 minutes I knew I had met the sister I had never had. It was as if we had known each other all our lives. My other two friend who I meet with once a week with quilting in mind, I met in a quilt class in 2004. I hadn't been quilting 6 months at that stage and had just moved back across the country from Western Australia. I treasure these 3 friends and hope we have lots more years of fun to share.
BTW your first quilt jumped out and grabbed me. It's just gorgeous, and in my favourite colors. Well done!

all are very lovely and for sure your friends will love them!

They are all beautiful!! What a lovely way to commemorate such wonderful friendships!

A special way to celebrate true friends and 65.

All are great and a great idea too. what is the name of the blue and white quilt pattern please?

I am still good friends with several of my high school buddies. I would love to copy your poem and make something for them.

I forgot to tell you what lucky friends you have to be friends with someone as sweet as you to make these remembrances. Beautiful quilts.

Beautiful and very generous of you. Truly shows how much you love your friends, and a long lasting friendship is nothing to take for granted. The fact that you have SEVERAL is quite amazing. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time together, whatever you do.

Pretty quilts! I love that you kept your friendships over the many years and celebrated them with quilts! Be sure to have a group photo taken if possible of everyone hugging their quilts. Your label is wonderful.

Does quilt #3 have a pattern name? It looks charm pack friendly but I can't quite figure out the size squares. Thank you for sharing all your quilts with us.

Lucky friends. They must mean a lot to you for you to make them all quilts.

FANTASTIC QUILTS!! and the label will be a tear jerker.

What a thoughtful way to celebrate your birthdays and friendship. I love your poem.

Wow all the quilts are pretty and you are so kind and thoughtful!

Love them all. Your friends will love you even more!!

Your friends will treasure your quilt. What a great way to celebrate.

What a great idea and great poem! I have 2 friends that I met in 7th grade that I still do lunch with several times a year. This year we will be turning 68 - I think I will start working on quilts!

What a wonderful, sweet and very generous moment you have created! I know your dear friends will treasure their quilts! Thank you for showing us!! and Happy Birthday!! :D
