You're right, Taria. Having your family appreciate your quilts is the
biggest ribbon of all! :-)

My family have been quite tearful when they have received a quilt.
However I did a Warm Wishes quillow with some donated fabric for a
raffle and the person who won it said 'I don't really want it and was
hoping I wouldn't win it'. I was not pleased, though it was a remark
typical of that particular lady! However her husband said he wanted it
anyway and as he is currently very sick I am pleased he had it.

Taria:
What a lovely note! I feel the same way about my quilting.
I've been off line for weeks, and need to mark "all read" but I am glad I
happened to read your report.
