Giving and getting quilty things from quilt friends is wonderful but giving or receiving something they've made is so much better.
I agree so much! I've been fortunate enough to be the recipient of several quilts from friends, mostly wallhangings. They all have a special place of display so I'm surrounded by their love at work, in my quilting room and in the living room.
