I took the baby quilt to work to give to Cecilia... and she was thrilled! I think she almost cried... she was so sweet about it and so very excited to take it home to give to her son and his fiance.
She came by to see me mid-morning to tell me that she was looking at the quilt again and a teacher saw it and asked who made it. Cecilia said she was still so flabbergasted that she couldn't even remember my name to tell the teacher.... *lol* Now that is something!
At the end of the day, I saw Cecilia leaving with the quilt bag in her hand... and she was grinning ear to ear!
Monday, Cecilia came to find me to tell me her son loved the baby quilt... and her soon-to-be daughter-in-law cried when she saw it. She even called her mother on the other side of the country to tell her about the baby quilt.
Evidently, the son loved it so much he wanted Cecilia to ask if I could make a quilt just like it for their bed!
Cecilia told him it was unlikely but she did ask. However, even if I had time... I used fabric remnants, most of which are all used up now.
It is nice to know the quilt went to folks who like it and will appreciate it.
What a success story! Well done :D
ReplyDeleteA feel good post. Made me smile. You did good : )
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel good to have your efforts appreciated?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story... how 1 quilt makes 4 people happy...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story, Freda. It's really great when people really appreciate your work. I wonder if you'll end up making them a quilt for their bed in the same pattern but different fabrics? I bet you've already thought that thought a few times! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tale of a quilt! I hope it gets worn out from lotsa-lovin'.
ReplyDeleteThat makes it all worth it, doesn't it? It really is a pretty quilt.

ReplyDeleteBe Joyful!!!
Great story. So glad you had that wonderful experience of putting smiles on faces, and knowing your hands did their part. When those moments happen that take your breathe away, all is right with the world.
ReplyDeleteThat was the best compliment ever! But I'm happy you don't have any more of the fabric, and can say no! Whew! Dodged a bullet there! lol
ReplyDeleteLiking and appreciating - that is all it takes. I'm feeling that warm glow.

There's something extra extra special about receiving a handmade quilt (well, machine made but you know what I mean).
ReplyDeleteLovely gift...so glad it was happily received! That's always the best part. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your gift was much loved......
ReplyDeleteThe quilt deserved all that gratitude, but sometimes it isn't expressed that well. So glad everyone let you know how much they liked it.
