Update on Quilt for a Special Great Niece
 
I received this message from my niece - this quilt just keeps on giving back.

My mom just called me and told me about the beautiful quilt you made Carson! What a thoughtful gift!! I guess Carson kept it wrapped around her all night and this morning when she made her bed she carefully placed it on top https://www.facebook.com/images/emoj...1/16/1f60a.png One of her favorite expressions is 'oh bother!' In the tone that Winnie the Pooh speaks https://www.facebook.com/images/emoj.../1/16/263a.png You hit it out of the park with that gift!

Here is the original postings for those that didn't see it first

I made this panel quilt for my great neice who is 18 and has Down Syndrome. It was so worth it. She loves Winnie the Pooh and just sat there for the longest time staring at it and would point at the characters and say their names. Then she covered up her legs and just before I left, she folded it up and took it to her bedroom. It was a hit!

I can't seem to remember everything I want to say in a post so I kept adding. This was a special quilt for a special girl but all of your wonderful comments make it even more so. Thank you!

In your original post about this lovely quilt, I responded about my two with Downs Syndrome. I neglected to mention that my two are grandchildren not children. We are so blessed with these lovely children in our lives.

I knew when i read the first line it was the Winnie the Pooh quilt! So glad she is enjoying it and that you made her day!

I am sure her special words have warmed your heart as much as this quilt will warm Carson! There is such an unbelievable feeling of real love when you can make a difference in someone's life, and I am sure you have done just that. What a beautiful quilt, and what an even more beautiful story. Thanks so much for sharing both with us.
