I have made 3 quilts for them to raffle off at the last 3 open houses the local hospital resale shop.
The manager called and asked me to come in when I had time. Talk about a wonderful surprise. She gave me a hand quilted quilt her grand mother had made. and this woman is 79 herself. No one in her family wanted it and she wanted it to go to someone who would understand its a heirloom and not just a stupid blanket. She has no idea how old it really is but knows its over 60years old. IT is hand stitched togther and all hand quilted. The picture doesn't do it justice. I'm so excited and honor she thought of me.

your generosity was rewarded in a wonderful way - what a gift!

What a wonderful gift. Looks like meticulous work. Can you imagine the time it took to do this. Is it muslin on the back? Thanks for sharing.
|
how special and thoughtful is that :-)
|
Wow! Definately not just a stupid blanket. A lot of work went into that quilt. Years ago there weren't the fancy rulers and tools that we have today and many people hand quilted back then too. Soo glad you got it and the manager was so nice to think of you who would apreciate the work that went in ot making that quilt. Enjoy, Huggies, Fay

How nice that she thought of you. She's a smart lady, wanting it to go to someone who will understand and respect what it really is...not "just an old blanket".

Beautiful quilt.
|
How thrilling for you and I know it was a burden off her mind to find someone who would understand and appreciate it. My family has nicely told me they "don't need anymore junk" so I quilt for friends and myself.
|
What a terrific surprise.

I'm so happy for you. It's a beautiful quilt.

Wow, how beautiful, you are so lucky!
