I want my quilts used up and loved out. I give a small note with each baby quilt, telling mom and dad that "miss Beth' said I can drag this around, wrap the dog in it and use it as a Superman cape. If it gets used up, she will make me another one. people that 'save them for good' only get that Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228272999302748449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-88696034448464255692011-06-13T17:48:54.753-05:002011-06-13T17:48:54.753-05:00My daughter is reluctant to let my grandkids use t...My daughter is reluctant to let my grandkids use the quilts I've made for them. I told her that she should let them use them, but she's so sad that the first quilt I ever made (for her - 22 years ago) is in tatters because she's used/love it so much over those 22 years. ;-) I've told her that I can make more for the grands (I've already made a few more for DD, but in her Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-78493775346291544822011-06-13T16:36:45.032-05:002011-06-13T16:36:45.032-05:00Sweet sweet pic of a beautiful baby with her wonde...Sweet sweet pic of a beautiful baby with her wonderful quilt!

It is like wrapping them in our loving arms.

A few years ago, he sent it back to me and asked me to "fix" the tattered binding. Now, he and his wife are expecting their firstborn later this year. A red/white/black quilt is being quilted especially for little Landon.
