My parents & my husband's mom came with us. On the way my MIL started an applique quilt, very organic in its design. When we would stop she would throw her piece of muslin on the hood of the car and then figure out where to put her flowers that she would use a bag of scraps and design the flowers and she went. It took her about 3 years to finish the quilt. She entered it in the UT quilters guild show and won "People's Choice." About 4 years ago for Christmas she gave the quilt to me. Even now it makes me tear up. Every time I look at it I think of the trip and how much I love my MIL and how grateful I am to have her.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719037127410337091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502987269054206316.post-78178959524258153922009-09-10T04:12:06.098-05:002009-09-10T04:12:06.098-05:00(from my mom)
Valerie, I was just thinking about ...(from my mom)<br /><br />Valerie, I was just thinking about thoughtful gifts and I had to remind you of the gift Paul and Christine got for Devn last Christmas. When Christine was new to us, even before they were engaged, Devn always asked her, "Do you know what the most powerful gun is? a 66 caliber. surprised you didn't know that!" I think he just wanted to have something to say to her that would let her know she wasn't being ignored. Anyway, they had a shirt made for him that had the question on the front, with a picture of a gun, and then the answer on the back. Devn was delighted! He wore that shirt more than any other piece of clothing and we all loved that moment on Christmas morning when he opened that package. It sure qualified as the "perfect present". Love, Momvfghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858616105228539309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502987269054206316.post-27481617297593176662009-09-09T00:10:20.368-05:002009-09-09T00:10:20.368-05:00Many years ago, I was taking up sewing for the fir...Many years ago, I was taking up sewing for the first time as an adult. Both my sister and my husband bought me lovely sewing baskets. Neither knew the other was planning that, and I loved both baskets, and both of them for choosing them for me.Kathi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380037164148416426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502987269054206316.post-7941751854346378502009-09-08T22:40:30.176-05:002009-09-08T22:40:30.176-05:00One of my favorite gifts:
