What a great friend!!!

I so agree with you about the folks on the forum, they so often go beyond their comfort zones to help and give to others. This is a wonderful forum to be a part of. I know with my dolls for the sick kids, I have received so much help and encouragement, that has brought me to the point where I could continue on. I've been sick a few days, but will get better and get back to the dolls soon. (ongoing lung issues plus perhaps a touch of cold or flu)
Thanks all of you for being all you are.

what a special gift cherish it...

Gorgeous quilt and the nice thing about crochet acrylic quilts is they wear really well. I have baby quilts made 25 years ago, that still look great. I always remember that good deeds bring happiness.

I made one like this many years ago, but my ex walked off with it. Don't know where it landed, but hope someone appreciates it as youdo. she did a great job, and you have one great friend.

Love the pink flowers!

A dear old neighbor who crocheted made me a single rose like these mid-1950s. Loved it, loved it, and still love the pattern. How great the spread drifted on to someone who could appreciate it.

Talk about hours of work! The spread is absolutely gorgeous.

I have the exact spread that is white, with pink roses-my Mother in law made it with crochet thread back in the 1930"s-Yes it is gorgeous, and I put mine on my quilt rack next to my favorite quilt. You are lucky, I wouldn't part with mine-appraised at $800.00-bet she's sorry she sent it now-haha

Oh my gosh!!! Well, I'd never part with it for anything. (Unless she wanted it back) Just all the more reason to feel like I have a real treasure!! Thanks for telling me that. WOW!

NO. I'll never be sorry I sent it to such a wonderful friend. I wish I knew more about the year of it but sounds like it might be quite old. I know it went to a loving home and it will be cherished. I hope to find more treasures like that. Going back to get the 3rd and final yard sale ready for the weekend. :)
