Every stitch has a story!  Do I start with the fact that this was a first quilting project by long time seamstress and retired home ec teacher and how excited I am that she is venturing into the quilt side of sewing?   Or do I begin with the news that this was made with love for a first grandchild and how delighted I am to be part of this timeless gift?  Or do I lead with the new friendship with this amazing woman and how pleased I am to be commissioned to quilt her first project?  Or do I just let the pictures tell the tale?
