One of my most treasured earthly possessions is a Quilt of Valor made by you. You will always have a piece of my heart.

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.

Marianne-

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.

Thanks again for the enjoyable reading.

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.
