i love when friends/family request quilts. they offer to pay for the materials or to me, but i refuse to take payment. i just enjoy making them and knowing they'll be used is payment enough to me!

one time my dgd came to me and said grandma can you make me an elephant? I told her i was not sure but i would try. Went to library checked out a book on making stuffed animals went to fs bought grey furry fabric made an elephant took it to her the next week. She loved it. Now dgs sleeps with the elephant

My DGS is soon to be 5. His Baby quilt is falling apart cause it's been well loved. Last week I said maybe he needs a new one.
He said "OK grama, you make me a new one but can you make it zackly like this one, cause I really like this one, and I like the square here and this one too, so Grama, Can it be zackly the same."
Tall order, I don't think a teeny worn out baby blankie is what I was thinking.

What a lovely request.

My youngest granddaughter said it would make her "happy" to have a quilt I make someday. Also, my grandson said he would like a quilt that reminds him of our annual trips to the ocean. Already purchased some fabrics for them; but not sure when I will get them made.

I am very flattered by requests and will do my best to fill them (when I can!) Next up, for my new niece...a quilt. My brother, the father-to-be asked if I would "knit a quilt." (I am an also a knitter, though the knitting has been dormant). I love to knit, but with Christmas gifts couldn't finish a knitted blanket, so I am making a quilt. I think he will love it!

I love it when the family wants your love to be put into a quilt - will last forever!

You know this will be appreciated - you'll enjoy making it even more.
