The gift should not be about the dollars; it is about the spirit. Do what the spirit moves you to do.

I think it would be a wonderful gift - think how happy she and her daughter will be - the quilt will last so long and a constant reminder of your generosity. Let us know...

I agree with you. I really want to give her this quilt. The way she said "I don't have a quilt" told me she would like one. I have some already made and ready to go. I think I will give her one but I'm not going to keep giving her Christmas gifts. I always give her a tip. When she said she didn't have a quilt, the look in her eyes really got to me.

jcrow, I imagine she'll be thrilled to receive the quilt. It's always nice to give them to someone who appreciates them.

You could give her a quilt after Christmas, so it won't look like you are going to start giving her Christmas gifts every year.

I agree. I'm going to give her one. I am going to just drop it off on her day off and not leave a note. I know she'll know it's from me, but I won't say Merry Christmas. I'll just leave it as a gift.

How will it make you feel to give her a quilt? Good or wish you hadn't? If it makes you feel good, then the price doesn't matter. :-)

Oh, I would deliver it in person, for sure. I wouldn't drop it off and leave it for her. You need to know that she got it. (For example, I know of a children's home..well, sort of a children's home... that has been accepting quilts from a guild for years, and it was just recently discovered that if someone in the "office" liked a quilt, they just put $10. in the kitty and took the quilt. The guild members had no idea that all the quilts were not being given to the children.) Just to be sure, I would deliver the quilt in person...
