Mine was from my former sister-in-law. Back in 1982 I made her "second dress" to be worn at the reception of her wedding to my brother. Also took apart & resewed 2 bridesmaid's dresses that someone made wrong. This was at a time when I was tight on money, short on time & gas for my car, but made the trips necessary across town to do the fittings, use my mom's machine to do the sewing, etc. Never got a thank you from her.

Until last year that is. I made a baby quilt for my great-nephew and gave it to my nephew's wife at her baby shower. My former sister-in-law was there. When B opened her gift & everyone realized it was a handmade quilt, my sister-in-law started gushing about what a great seamstress I was, how I made all those dresses for her wedding, how I had sewn since I was a young girl, on & on. My jaw was on the floor! I never realized how much she did appreciate what I had done. I guess at 17 (her) & 22 (me) you just don't communicate it the way you can at 45 & 50 LOL!!!

Forty seven and a half years ago when my husband asked me to marry him and last evening when he said to me, "You are my Everything." :) :) :)

When I was asked to make the wedding dress for a friend who waited until late in life to marry her soul mate. She is also the woman I most admire in the world! I was almost beside myself with joy, fear, trepidation. We had been friends for over 25 years and it seemed to me that she was always listening to my rantings and ravings and watching me make a fool of myself. Finally I had a way to repay her! She was pleased with the end results and amazingly, so was I!
