Thank you for all the great information!
|
I love raggedies and this one is gorgeous!!! Congrats to her for changing her life! and to you for being so supportive!
|
Very pretty, she will feel very loved. I like making these.
|
Ooooh I like both sides, I'm sure she will too.
|
very pretty...and looks oh so snuggly..I am sure she will treasure it!
|
I love the quilt. The colors are very pretty and I really like the blue coming to the front. I'm sure she will like it as well. She will probably appreciate the fact that you thought that much of her to make a quilt even more. Sometimes the unsaid words mean more to a person than the ones said. A word or good deed of encouragement is most times priceless. Bless you

That;s wonderful.
|
You are so nice to do this to help her. She will need all the help she can get for the rest of her life. This may be just the thing to help her. Bless you!!!!
|
Love the colors, it came out great!!
|
beautiful!!!
|
She cried happy tears! I don't think I've ever given a quilt that will be used as much as this one will. :-) AND I found fabric for the next one!! Expensive--but gorgeous.
|
Absolutely gorgeous!
|
When God tells you someone needs something, and you obey, the blessings on both parties are awesome! So happy to hear you ex SIL is sober and that you can be friends now. The quilt is beautiful, reminds me of autumn on the lake in a log cabin:) And rag quilts really are the best hug a person can give, or get;)
|
Wow, I love it! Love the back too!

I made a ragged flannel for her daughter--my niece--for her wedding--and my friend uses it every time she visits. God told me she needed one of her own. :-)
I chose the fall fabrics because it's what is on her daughter's--but afterwards I discovered her favorite color is blue--and she loves the lake, so the back plan changed. |
Is the front (fall colors) done in flannel or regular cotton prints? I take it the back is flannel tho? It is beautiful!
|
That will make a wonderful gift! Congratulations to her! I know how hard staying sober can be because I have a friend who's been that way for almost 2 years now and it's a struggle each and every day. She's going to love it and she'll think of you every time she uses it. :)
|
So nice of you to celebrate her sobrity with her. She will love this quilt.
|
Love your quilt
|
So very thoughtful of you. These are so cozy and she will love it.
|
You are a wonderful friend! The quilt is just beautiful!
|
I think what I love best about this thread is your story behind the quilt! The warmth of this quilt comes more from the fibers of your heart.
The quilt is WONDERFUL, I love the colors and the blue touch on the ragging is so pretty to my eye. Be sure and tell us "The Rest of the Story" when you present this 'surprise' gift! I can't wait to hear! |
Very pretty. Nice fabrics.
|
Well you listened to God's voice and here desires, I am sure she will love it!
|
I'm sure she will love it, and that is so thoughtful of you. I'm so glad you aren't disowning her since she is an ex relative. That's neat, and I love the quilt.
|
Love the story behind the quilt... :) congrats to your new friend... ! also i love your quilt great job.
I bought Christmas flannel to make one. I have not made it yet, (on my to do list).. Question, some people use flannel, and some use batting so it is three pieces per square. Did you use two the front and back or three? Just curious I want to know everything before i make mine.. ha... great job, love all the colors... |
She's sure to love the beautiful quilt, but her greatest blessing is to have your support and friendship. She's one lucky lady!
|
The quilt is beautiful!!!
|
What a wonderful thing for you do to. She has made a couragous step and I'm sure when she's tempted, she can look at the quilt, cuddle in it and know that she is loved.
|
How lovely of you to be so supportive. Know it will keep her warm as I just made one for myself, it was so much fun. My DH says it is an electric blanket in disguise. Praying for good things to come to this lady in the future.
