Default My first quilt,7 years later

I started this quilt in 2006. It was a JoAnn Fabrics block of the month called Tuscan Sun. The top went together just fine but I chickened out when it came to puting the layers together and quilting. I finally took it out this fall and hand quilted it. It will be a Christmas present for my sister and her hubby. She has done so much for my dad that I thought she really needed something special.[ATTACH=CONFIG]449484[/ATTACH]

She's going to love it. It will be extra special knowing you appreciate what she's done for your dad. So many siblings do not appreciate the care other siblings do for their parents. They just take it for granted since many live nearby.

I was thinking the same as all the others so I will just say Ditto to all above. My sister was a care giver for my mother and I really appreciated it. They live in another state so it was hard to go see her a lot. You have made her and her husband a beautiful quilt and I am sure that she will appreciate all the work you did on it. God bless you all. BrendaK
