Dear Friend,

What do you give person who has everything?

I always struggle with that. Sometimes I take the easy way out and get a gift card to Barnes and Noble. Another times, I just head off to my local Hallmark store and see what's there.

Sound familiar?

But, if it is a special family member or another quilter, I have a more difficult time. Surely a fellow quilter wish surely appreciate a gift card for a quilt shop, but somehow I think a gift card for thing is kind of cheating. It's like "I didn't have time to think just about the gift, so I just sent this random money."

Yes, there are plenty of family members and quilters who would-be love a gift card to anywhere, but, what just about those special ones? The ones you actually want to do thing more for, but they actually don't need anything, and even as once you ask them, they can't move up with thing they actually want.

What do you do for them?

Not too long ago, I was troubled with that kind of gift. A quilting friend of mine, Sarah, was celebrating her Fiftieth birthday. And she wasn't looking forward to it at all. For her, that milestone was 10 times worse than once she turned 30 (and you probably remember how traumatic that was!)

In any case, the Big 5 - 0 was coming up for my friend, and she was not a happy camper. And there I was trying to think of several creative gift that would-be bring a smile to her face.

A quilt is always a welcome gift - especially from one quilter to another. But, I wanted to do thing several from a patchwork quilt with blocks and sashing. I poured through my books, I visited my favorite quilt shop haunts looking at books I didn't own. I talked to my friends - searching for a suggestion for several unique quilt design that would-be be perfect for her.
Married woman loves hearts, and she has them all over her house. Her room towels have hearts on them, galore of the images on the walls about her home have hearts on them. Even as her dinner plates have hearts on them! And whenever I see thing with a heart, I think of Sarah.

Often I pick up little heart treasures for her in my wanderings-about. One year I found a fantastic heart-shaped wreath stuffed with little squares of Christmas fabric for her. That seemed to solve the issue of finding a new decoration for her front door every year.

In any case, as I thought just about what to get Married woman for her Fiftieth birthday, hearts surely came to mind. Then it occurred to me - why not one giant heart, and a quilt that was thing a little several from any she already had?

Traditional patchwork quilts ready-made up most of her collection. Blocks of all sizes and designs. She has fan quilts, star quilts, tumbling block quilts, and even as several heart quilts - no surprise there! But, she didn't have any rag quilts.
She had ready-made a few rag quilts for several of her family members and friends, but she didn't have one herself. So, I distinct to create a rag quilt with hearts. In my wanderings I had seen a rag quilt book that had a bunch of small hearts appliqued onto squares about the quilt. It looked actually nice, but applique isn't actually our favorite quilting thing to do. Early in my quilting life I appliqued hundreds of little hearts onto squares and ready-made baby quilts. And I feel like I have appliqued more than my share of hearts onto squares.

Then the idea smitten me - how just about one giant heart that covered the entire quilt. That would-be be unique and a fun memory of Sarah's Fiftieth birthday - not like several of those 'old folk' gag gifts she was sure to get at her party.

Once I had the idea, putt the quilt together was a breeze. As a matter of fact, I had the entire quilt ready-made - from cutting fabric to fringing the seams - in one short weekend.

As Sarah's birthday came closer, and her anxiety increased, I felt actually great just about the gift I had created for her, and I knew she would-be have a pleasant memory of that nerve-racking birthday.

The party day arrived, and as she opened gift after gift, there were several great things. She got the usual assortment of "Over The Hill" items, several good bath salts, a gift card for a day at the spa, and then she came to my package. I control my breath waiting to see her reaction. It's funny, during all of those years, we have ne'er once ready-made a quilt for one another. We've ready-made plenty of quilts together, but ne'er for each other.

As she cautiously upraised the lid from the box, I could see bantam tears welling up in her eyes, because she knew it was a quilt. And since I had used several fun heart fabric on the back of the quilt, she knew that the theme would-be be hearts - her favorite. As she flat it, there was silence in the room of previously-giggling gals. And then she stood up so everyone could see the whole quilt. I'll admit that I was pretty proud. For once, I had created the perfect gift for a friend.
Married woman rush over and give me a big hug and "thank you." And all I could do was cry. After a few minutes, the party went back to the giggling gals and we had a great time ringing in Sarah's Fiftieth birthday. Married woman keeps her heart quilt on her couch so she can curl up under it as she is quilting or observation TV. And every time I visit her, I remember her Fiftieth birthday and the joy the quilt brought to her that day and every day after.
