I worked in a large law firm. The attorneys I worked with received quilts for Christmas. I made two quilts that were raffled off to raise money for the Forgotten Children's Fund. Several of the babies born received quilts. When I moved to another firm the gift quilt I made for the holiday party was fought over and after the first one I had to disguise the bag or box the quilt was in because people wanted the quilt. The people I worked with received quilts on their birthday. I no longer work at either firm but people let me know they still have a quilt I made and apparently it was an honor to receive a quilt I made. I'm kind of surprised because the quilts are usually scrappy and traditional. I made them because I love to sew and sometimes people just need to be recognized. I think people appreciate and recognize the time you spent making something for them.
