It's just amazing. What love you all put into making this for your newlyweds. I'm sure they will cherish it for the rest of their lives, as I do mine.juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351247097680979735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-57226403893783068362009-07-02T01:47:29.072+10:002009-07-02T01:47:29.072+10:00You all did a marvelous job on that quilt.

I have much fonder memories of preparing the food for my sister's homemade wedding with my mother and aunt than eating the resturants potato salad (that I make 10x better) at my own.<br />These economic times may be the greatest unrecognized blessing as people 'relearn' that you can not buy love and closeness with family. You most definetly can not spend enough to fill the emptiness. <br />You have given your children the greatest gift, the example of how to find contentment and happiness within themselves.<br />KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-69133832677098621282009-07-01T06:38:53.687+10:002009-07-01T06:38:53.687+10:00This was so, so beautiful.

I can't think of a more meaningful and beautiful gift to receive from a new mother-in-law. (Mine gave us a drill. Yes, it was very big and powerful and my husband was very excited, but, seriously, a drill?) :-)<br />Congratulations again on providing such a beautiful day.<br />Karen (Scotland)Happy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142657700102628405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-10364758956426631432009-07-01T06:32:45.090+10:002009-07-01T06:32:45.090+10:00Great job on both counts!

Mom made a lot of wedding cakes when I was a kid, paying great attention to detail, while they all were beautiful, I must tell you that Shane and Sarndra's beats them all in beauty and elegance in my book. Sometimes simplicity just can't be beat. I loved it!!! and the quilt as well. It's great that it became a joint effort, all the more special to the recipients.<br /><br />Mammamamma in the USABarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07460743304211612056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-30085406047599174812009-06-30T23:18:01.210+10:002009-06-30T23:18:01.210+10:00Your quilt is so beautiful.
