It is beautiful and I loved reading the story behind it. But if I were you, as soon as you get it finished I would give to her. Why wait? Life is too short.

Your quilt is beautiful and the story behind it is lovely, too. Wonderful job and thanks for sharing!

Nothing is quite as special as a personalized gift, and this quilt has it all. What a wonderful friend you are!

Absolutely gorgeous quilt. Great job!

I think it turned out super! She will love it and it is a great story too.

What a darling quilt. I am sure your friend will fall in love with it when she sees it. Just keep the secret to yourself. I made a Chevron quilt in her favorite color turquoise and white for a dear friend last Christmas, that I taught school with for several years. We haven't seen each other in a year or so, but we email regularly and chat on the phone. I had a horrible time trying to remember each time I talked to her when I was making it, not to let the cat out of the bag. She knew I was quilting and would want to know what quilt I was working on. She has had some health issues for a while now and has to rest a lot and often when we talk, she says she is curled up under her Gerbie quilt as she calls it.

This is such a joynfornboth of you. It is more bless to give.
Don't ever wait...give it to her now..and insure it when you mail it.....

wow...very, very nice....!

WOW. What more can I say. You both have a wonderful and very special friendship. God bless you both. BrendaK
