"For your birthday I was trying to think of something special I could give you so I opted for something which is special and unique and something only I could give you. You will understand as you open the quilt - made by mom, and is one of a kind - I had two so I thought since we share so much this would be truly valued by you, and a memory of Mom that we share."
"Thank you so much for all that you do - we love you so much and as long as were are here on earth you will never be alone."
The gift was this beautiful quilt made by my Mom:
She also enclosed a gift card for one of my favorite restaurants.
I was really touched by the gift of the quilt and the letter. The restaurant gift card was nice and I will enjoy that but the quilt will be my pride and joy.
What do you all think?

How wonderful! I'd probably still be crying. Stuff like that absolutely does me in. What a great sister you have!!!
And Happy Birthday, too - whenever it is.
What a wonderful gift your sister gave you. You're very lucky to have such a nice family.
That's a gorgeous quilt, Bill, and I know it means a lot to you. The sentiment from your sister is lovely, also. I'm glad she appreciates all you've done.

I'm not embarassed to admit that I shed a few tears over the gift as did my mom when I showed it to her.

Ooooh, I love quilts. Especially ones made with love. What a great gift!!! Happy late birthday, Bill!!! : )
Symply!
Hi, hope things are going well for you!
You are actually early with my birthday wish since it is Saturday!
I love quilts too. There is just so much work, thought, and love that goes into it. And sis put a ton of thought into the gift.
Bill
Is it your birthday? Wishing you very many happy returns.
Thank you Snug, it is very much appreciated.
The quilt is gorgeous and the thought behind giving it to you is even more lovely. The quilter in me wishes that the picture was bigger and a big clearer.
As I've said before, have a happy birthday.
Hi Ellen
Always nice to see you here. Thanks for the birthday wishes.
I also wish the picture was clearer and larger but I had a hard enough time even getting that one. I might try again a little later when it is brighter here.
Hope this finds you well and that Kat is also enjoying her birthday.
Bill
Beautiful Quilt, Bill, may you cherish it forever.
Happy Birthday!

Awesome Bill! Nothing is better and has more meaning than gifts from the heart. You are blessed!
Psst.. where are we going for dinner? :)
Hi Kaye
So glad to see you post again. I love the gift.
We went to a place called the Yamhill Grill, which is a really nice place in Newberg, which is the bordering city to Sherwood. The food was great!
