Yesterday our mail was delivered and I had the pleasure of receiving a stack of thank you cards from my niece's family. I made 3 quilts last year for her three smallest (and had already been thanked) and this summer had made quilts (which had been started a year or two previously) for her 4 oldest children. I just thought I'd share:
Logann (5), Maisyn (3), Kolbie (the baby)
Dear Aunt Candace,
Since we were all writing our thank yous the girls decided they would like to write you a letter too. They both say thank you for their quilts and for letting them play with your toys when we were down there last summer. They say it was fun and they enjoyed it. They also said they love you and they hope to see you again.
Love you,
Logann, Maisyn + Kolbie

Dear Aunt Candace,
Thank you very much for the quilt. I appreciate you taking the time to make those things for us they are very nice. I use it every night and it's very good in the summer because its light and keeps me cool. It is also nice because I can keep my comforter on my bed so my room stays cleaner now. Well anyway how are you guys doing? I'm doing good, staying very busy with my various things I do. Well I will talk to you later hope to hear from you soon. (the one on the right)
Love you,
Dakota
I was very touched and proud of them all. I think they did a great job, and not a single one called their quilt a blanket, lol.

Hi Candace,
It's always nice when the know and appreciate the difference between a blanket and a quilt.

Ah, how nice. I think it's great that they wrote you letters and a thank you card. It's nice to see parents teaching their children proper etiquette. I love it that they didn't call it a blanket too. I'm not saying parents don't teach their kids properly now but with the internet it's so easy to send an email. It's nice to get a hand written note too. It means they took a few more minutes to do it. Your quilts are great. I like how you linked back to them in each paragraph. I didn't have to search to see which one they were talking about. Hugs, Linda
ha, I will test my thought, your post bring me some good ideas, it's truly awesome, thanks.

Those thank you's are keepsakes to treasure. Someone has done well educating these little ones, especially regarding the appreciation of a QUILT and understanding the difference between that and a blanket!
