That was a really nice and thoughtful thing to do. Good job too! Very special.

What an awesome gift

That's amazing. What a wonderfully kind gesture to your friends.

First, thank you everyone for the kind words.

Last night I was counting the days until the package should reach them (sent it off as soon as they were done), and realized it will arrive one month to the day after Paul died! Guess God had a reason for me to be delayed getting it started. I think anniversaries like that are hard, especially at first.

What a stunning "card". They will cherish it forever. You're so very thoughtful!!

megs0863 08-10-2011 05:51 AM

wow, nice memorial to Paul.

The photo was one that his daughter changed her avatar to on FaceBook, so I know she loves this pic which was just taken at Christmas.

Wonderful gift. I am sure they will appreciate having the quilts.

BTW, do you teach your method?

WOW, what a tribute.

How very thoughtful you are. It made me tear up and I know Paul's wife and daughter did the same. I can not think of a more wonderful way to remember a loved one - what a cherished gift you gave them.
