    She is very blessed to have coworkers like you and your family. What a great quilt. I have done a similar style but never thought of quilting it the way you did. I will try that next time.

    That is a wonderful story/blessing and you will be blessed 10 fold for helping Elsa out. I was once a single mother myself and I've always had such a soft spot for young mothers without a father in the picture. May God bless her. That quilt is beautiful and will mean the world to her.

    Love the quilt and love the story. I have never sold a quilt, nor intend to. I get a tremendous blessing from giving. It's a shame that some people will never experience that, but basically, I think most people are kind.
    Thanks for sharing.

    The history of quilters is that their heart is put together with patches of love. That love just keeps growing and giving. Pay it forward is what I think we all believe in. This is a heartfelt group. Good thoughts

    You and your sister are truly special people. The little boy will not only be wrapped in the quilt, but your kindness.
