She ...Oh great One -- Yes she is pretty wonderful. She dropped the quilt off while she was on her way to help her church feed 170 college student who need assistance.<br /><br />Dani -- I am still in shock.<br /><br />cube -- I'm not sure she even knows that I have a blog but I might give her the link.<br /><br />Nancy -- I am betting your mother was like mine with very few new dresses. Mother took such care of the clothes she had and she had had many of those items for years and years.<br /><br />Winifred -- Yes it was a unique and certainly unexpected gift.<br /><br />Snaggle Tooth -- Martha did not have to feel any pressure in completing the quilt because I had no idea it was being made and there never would have been a bad time to give it to me. However I will have surgery next month and I believe she wanted me to be able to be comforted by this gift.<br /><br />Kay - Yes it would make a wonderful wall hanging but then I couldn't snuggle up under it.<br /><br />Riot Kitty -- Yes an amazing present I have another amazing friend who sent me a greeting card out of the blue with a Panda on the front. She must have known my love of Panda bears.<br /><br />G.B. Miller -- I hope she appreciated my reaction and I didn't come off as a complete idiot. I was truly whelmed.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-71125057091410035792012-09-20T16:58:20.564-05:002012-09-20T16:58:20.564-05:00Perhaps the best thank you that you could give to ...Perhaps the best thank you that you could give to her was your wonderful reaction to the quilt.G.

Please thank Martha...wow, what a wonderful gift. <br /> Please thank Martha for me too. Her work, creativity and generousity has given me the perfect gift to give to my daughter. I will start saving some of my own clothes and versus giving them away or tossing them due to stains or just no longer in style, I will make my daughter a quilt so one day when I am no longer on this earthly plane , she can wrap it around her and feel a hug from me.Sonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-38255581922562209102012-09-19T08:00:02.830-05:002012-09-19T08:00:02.830-05:00What a wonderful and stunning gift!What a wonderful and stunning gift!Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-75093930130309439362012-09-19T07:49:41.653-05:002012-09-19T07:49:41.653-05:00Oh my goodness - that is beautiful!!!
