Deb—As so often happens with the quilts we give away, we forget where they went until we are reminded. Your comment took me back to the day we awarded you. Stay cozy.
I have enjoyed you in all aspects of your career.. as I am a 40 year quilter myself, and now I really enjoy your writing. Thanks for this. It is the most true and accurate description of all the love, emotion, and concentration that goes into quilt making.
I have made so many now, and given so many away to those I love, Keeping treasured favorites with me. Along with an unbelievable stash of fabrics waiting to be used.
And I don't resent a bit of the precious time I will use to make them.
I love this post!!! Everything you mention about the gift of a quilt rings true. I'm so happy to have met you and I'm glad you are here on Substack. I have a story about giving a quilt away that I should write about. I'll keep you posted.
One of my most treasured earthly possessions is a Quilt of Valor made by you. You will always have a piece of my heart.
