I just learned that my niece Emily is getting married on Feb. 26th. Her fiancee is in the military and got orders just after Christmas that he was being transferred to Washington State, so the wedding date was moved forward to this month. After many years of little or no response to a quilt I made, I don't gift them unless I know someone will appreciate them. I called Em and asked her if she would rather have a check or a quilt, she immediately asked for the quilt. She's given me color preferences
and I gave her pattern choices and I know she will love and appreciate the effort. Let's face it... Making a queen quilt and having it long-arm quilted is a very expensive proposition. It should only be done for those who will use and love it. xxxoo Mary Ellen
