    Default Thank you gift

    Last winter my MIL fell on her back porch and laid there for about 90 minutes before her neighbor heard her and got her inside. It was December in Ohio and luckily she had a coat on. Her neighbor left for the holidays and when he got back he sent me a text in Florida(where I am living) stating that he had not seen her and did I want him to check on her. She was out at her other son's house recovering from her fall. I thought it was so nice that the neighbor was concerned about her and sent me the text. To thank him, I have made him this quilt and will deliver it next month when we go to Ohio.

    Very beautiful. Quilts are our "language of love," aren't they!

    He will love that quilt you made for him. How very thoughtful of you to make it for a very concerned neighbor to your MIL.

    Really love that quilt! It looks woven. So nice that you made this for the neighbor. Wish that all neighbors were this neighborly.

    That's terrific! I always want to do things for nice people as well. We hear so much about mean ones. That was sweet of him to think of her, and of you to think of him.
