There was a story attached, which involved several people making blocks for a quilt for me, then the person who was sewing the blocks together having an accident with a large bottle of sewing machine oil. Apparently she is going to make some of the blocks that survived the oil into cushion covers for me, but in the meantime she put this quilt together from her own stash, then missed the retreat last weekend in case I was there (which I wasn't) to stay home and finish the quilt!
I was so touched by the gift and the dedication of Trish who saved the day, I couldn't help shedding a tear or two.
