WOW, what terrific Christmas presents. Can I become a family member? Just kidding. I really like your Lover's Knot quilts. When my son became engaged, I made them a "Lover's Knot" quilt, but she asked for a duvet cover instead of a quilt. The very night I began working on adding the backing for the cover; she called the wedding off because she had a richer, thinner boyfriend. My son was devastated, especially my son was told that the 6 year old daughter they were raising was not his. In hindsight, he was lucky because he didn't have to deal with her for 12 more years, but we were devastated at having her yanked out of our lives, not even allowed to say good bye. Well, here I was with a beautiful (if I do say so myself) lavender and soft green Lover's Knot quilt, which no one in our family wanted. My church usually raffled off a quilt at their Holiday Fair, so I offered that quilt, for a small amount to cover the cost of materials, and it made over $2,000 for my church. So that Lover's "Not" quilt went to a nice couple and it was out of my family because it only caused bad feelings. Right now I am in the process of making a king size quilt for my son and DIL, as a Christmas and 6th anniversary quilt for them. We have been gifted with one beautiful and very special DGD who has filled out family with love once again, and we know she's ours, forever. We are lucky to have both our DGD and DDIL in our lives, who make our son very happy.
