Best thing about quilting, this reaction
3 Attachment(s)
I made an Exploding Heart quilt for my Aunt. She has been so supportive and encouraging of my quilting journey. She gushes and brags about my creations. She is a very nurturing, hardworking and loving woman who's birthday is the 4th of July. An Exploding Heart seemed such a fitting pattern. I bought nothing new for this quilt , only used fabric and batting that was already in my stash. Her reaction was the absolute best reaction I have ever gotten to one of my creations. She adores it and I am so glad I made it for her.

The pure joy on her face. I am so happy for you and for her. What a wonderful supportive woman. I hope you always enjoy what you do. Your quilt is magical. So soft. Reminds me of the words cream and sugar.
