Quilt I sent to daughter's Nana for Christmas
 
2 Attachment(s)
I was a single Mom when my daughter was 6 months old. She is 21 years old now. I was and still am living in San Diego and my family lives in Oregon. I was so lucky to find Nana and Amos as babysitters for my then 6 month old daughter while I worked two jobs and went to school. I could not have done it without their love and support over the years. Nana is almost 80 years old now and Amos is 75. They moved to Spokane, WA about 8 years ago and I call them every 3 months. I miss them dearly. I made this quilt for them for Christmas this year as a surprise and they said that they looked at each other when they opened it and could not believe their eyes. They loved it and it matched their living room perfectly![ATTACH=CONFIG]384916[/ATTACH]We were so very blessed to have them both in our lives. That is WHY many of us quilt. To show our love to the ones we care about the most. I hope you enjoyed my story and Happy New Year! :)

Beautiful quilt and story. If someone does something for us and won't accept money, I make them a quilt. I am always looking for someone who I think needs a quilt.
