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.

What a lovely treasure. How wonderful that they could surprise you (smile). Thank you for sharing.
