You do sprinkle your creations with love! I can feel it as I tie up my wedding-shower apron, put another stack of diapers in the toile storage caddy, and put my baby-girl on her African inspired tag quilt! Through these objects, you have made me feel love and joy! Thank you again and wubbin!

The quilt is lovely! I am an over-thinker, too. Though it has lessened a bit with time.

Sometimes our tears just need a way out…..sometimes doing this alone clears the system, but doing it with friends gives us the comfort we sometimes need too. I love the quilt.

I have become pretty picky about who I give handmade gifts to (especially very time consuming ones) because I, too, tend to invest a lot of thought and care into the gift, and I get very disappointed if the recipient doesn’t seem to appreciate it. When they do, though, it’s a wonderful feeling. I love the quilt – are you sending Matty home soon?

The quilt is going to be so lovely – I am sure the recipient will feel the love you put into it. The color combination is great too!

I read the book, saw the movie, and loved ‘em both.

This is such a beautiful quilt! The patchwork looks like it’s floating in a pool; very refreshing.

Although I always have tried to put a lot of thought and care into my gifts, it’s only in the last couple of years that I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of carrying through enough to convey my intentions properly. I read something in Alababma Stitch about “blessing your thread” before you begin a project, and it really is a good practice! It’s made me slow down and think about the recipient more, which I hope comes through in the finished product.

Like the others, I too am a huge fan of browns and aquas/turquoises together. And I too sew my heart and love and dreams into things!
