The housewarming was a lovely, fun night. Bec put on a great spread of gluten free food - all yummy stuff - and we all had a wonderful time, catching up with family and celebrating the move into her own new home - always a huge step for anyone. And she loved the quilt.
There's something undescribably pleasing about making something for someone who utterly appreciates the work and love that goes into it, and that makes it all worthwhile.
In fact, I got a few "ooooh, I'd love one too" comments - so who knows, I might be able to improve if I do a few more - but I think I'll have a break for a while and get back into my one true love - stitching (or at least until I find a good professional quilter)..
Of course I love the quilt! It's beautiful and it means so much knowing it was designed and all stitched by you. I feel very lucky to have such a thoughtful, caring and clever Aunt! The quilt now has pride of place on my couch and it makes my apartment feel so much more warm and homely. I will treasure the quilt and hope to pass it on to my children too. Love you!
ReplyDeleteHow could she not like it? It looks lovely, what a wonderful thing to give and treasure.
