Unless I am gifting someone with a quilt who is in our household or comes to me to receive a quilted gift, I rarely get to see how my quilted gifts are received.  I had specifically asked the Mom of the girls who I made the t-shirt quilt for the big sister and the non-doll-size little sister quilt for, to videotape them opening their gifts.  I worked hard, as did my quilter, to get the gifts completed on time – and to see the true fruits of our labor through the eyes of these young ladies sure puts a smile on this quilter’s face.

Yes, the wee one asked if it was a blanket and her mom said yes.  I gave them a free pass but sent an email to the Mom proclaiming that it was a quilt and not a blanket.  So, they sent another video to show that the Mom *did* make sure the wee one knew what it was that I made her:

And here’s a couple of still photos of both girls with their quilts.  Ahhhh, does my quilted heart good to see quilted joy!
