    I made my DGS a quilt and he wrapped it around himself and rolled on the floor with it (he was 5) He is now 10 and still loves it.

    I recently made a teal and white quilt for a 37 yr old friend with cervical cancer. Teal and white are the colors for cervical cancer. On the back of the quilt I embroidered a label with the cancer awareness ribbon in teal and wrote the words "I wear Teal for a friend." She loves the label as much as the quilt. Really got to me.

    Mine was my first large quilt, a queen size, all dogs fabric with a picture of my GS's dog in the middle. He was 13 at the time. It wasn't what he said, it was the look on his face! I will remember it always; it was better than words. His jaw dropped open and his eyes got huge. He just sat there and then broke out in the most beautiful smile. That said it all!

    When a friend (Jan) told everyone
    at the table at one of our singles
    dance that "Judy make the most
    beautiful quilts ever".

    2nd best.
    My Sister said I could make something
    out of nothing and it would be nice.
