It was a rush order; a long-time customer of Maria’s urgently demanded five quilts to be finished and shipped before August 1. She finished them last night. She worked hard every day to get them done but took a lot of care to make them lovely.
They are, I think, beautiful. The customer is having a birthday party for a family member, and the quilts are special gifts for guests.
Maria has made quilts for this customer before; they know and respect one another.
She hung the quilts out on the clothesline to give them a country smell.
She took photos of each one for herself and to send them to her customer, who has been updated on each one. They are figuring out how to send them. I could see that Maria is very proud of them. Me too.
Wow!! I can’t think of a more special and wonderful gift than a beautiful handmade quilt!! What lucky people!! They are beautiful!
Lovely!
