The special blessings of the Christmas season always thrill me; every year never fails to bring some unexpected ones.
May you be blessed as the owner of this quilt will be by your labor of love.

Oh Cagey, that must have been so difficult, but the quilt will be a true treasure for her.
I'm still sniffling, but had to go and dry my eyes before I could type on the keyboard.

Beautiful story....illustrates perfectly, there's more to quilting than cutting up bits of fabric and sewing them together. Quilting is a tangible expression of love, compassion and memories. Thank you.
