When I mentioned to my daughter-in-law that I was going to attempt to quilt, her only comment was "I get the first quilt you make". Well, my son and daughter-in-law had been married for about 7 years and I took this into consideration when I picked out material to piece my first quilt. At the time I did not own a sewing machine so every stitch is lovingly done by hand. I started out small but she seemed pleased by my efforts. I have made numerous quilts for her family since.
This one will always be special to me because 1) it was my first quilting attempt 2) it was all done by hand and 3) my daughter-in-law wanted it - sight unseen and I knew she would love it regardless.
She is a special lady.
