One Mistake Leads to Another Update
 

This may be the wrong forum for this, but I wanted to say that my dear husband, for whom I struggled to finish this penguin quilt, passed away at the end of April. I had the quilt in hospice house (he was there only a week). He didn't want to use it, afraid he would mess it up, so I hung it over the doors of the wardrobe so he could see it. I'm so glad I had finished it before we knew he was seriously ill. As soon as I finish the sleeve, it will hang in our (my) bedroom.

BTW: This is the last picture I have of my DH.

Your quilt is unique and beautiful and your husband looks mighty happy and proud of your efforts. I am so sorry for your loss.

im sorry for your loss he looks very happy with the quilt glad he could enjoy it.

What a wonderful final picture you have to remember your husband.
It's a beautiful quilt ... and the joy is all over his face!

My best wishes to you, in your now changed life.
Keep quilting .. it's good therapy!

ditto to the above

I am so glad that you were able to finish it 'in time' - You have a great layout of the quilt - it is very visually appealing.

I love that quilt! You did a great job and your husband looks very pleased. I am so glad he had that to comfort him. I am so sorry for your loss.

My sympathy to you and your family for your loss! I am glad that you were able to get a picture of him and the quilt before his passing. I pray the picture and the quilt will bring you comfort and peace every time you look at them. God Bless!

My prayers are with you. I,m so sorry for your loss. The quilt is beautiful, and your husband obviously
thought so.

That is truly a picture of love! I'm so sorry you weren't able to enjoy it together, longer. {{{{{ HUGS }}}}}

The quilt is lovely and your hubby looked so happy with it. I'm glad he could enjoy it during his brief stay at hospice.

I'm sorry for your loss - I know it is difficult (I was a widow also). The memories, pictures and "things" like this quilt will be of great comfort to you.

God Bless and I'll add a prayer for you tonight.

I agree and again so sorry for your loss.awesome quilt

You did a fantastic job on the quilt and from the smile on your husband's face you can tell he thought so too. I would not only hang the quilt in your bedroom but the picture also. So glad he got the pleasure of receiving this finished project before he departed. My prayers are lifted up for you at this time and I hope this picture and quilt bring you peace and rest at nite hanging in the room with you. Hugs to you.

Joy is so evident on his face as he holds the quilt you made. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband. I remember that post, cuz I thought your concept, and how you showed those penguins was spectacular. I might even have bookmarked it. You did a most wonderful job on that, and he looks so proud to show the world what you made for him.

I remember seeing this quilt and your story. So very sorry for your loss. How fortunate you were able to finish it in time for him to see how much you truly love him! Hanging it in your bedroom is a wonderful way to remember his smiles and love. That is a great picture!

I am so sorry for your loss! He sure looks like he loved his quilt!!!!

Sorry to hear about your loss. He looks happy with the quilt, so you know he liked it. I'm sure you will cherish the quilt and think of your husband whenever you look at it.

So sorry to hear of your loss. He looks very happy in the photo with your nicely done cheery quilt.

What a wonderful memory you created. I am so sorry for your loss.

The quilt is beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Beautiful quilt. I know that it is comforting to know you got it finished in time for him to enjoy it. My prayers are with you at this time of loss.

A beautiful quilt. So sorry for your loss. May God bless and keep you!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I love the quilt and it looks like your husband did too. I'm so glad you got it finished in time.

My sympathies on your loss. Your DH looks mighty proud of the lovely quilt you made just for him.

I must have missed something. Was there a mistake that led to something?

I too want to say how sorry I am for your loss. He looks like he was a wonderful husband that loved and admired your work...

So sorry for your loss. And yes, I'm also glad you finished it so he could look at it. What a neat thing that you have such a happy face picture for you to remember him by, though. Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing your pain with us. It is a part of the "healing" process, which is so understated. Just know that when times get tough, you're surrounded by love here.

Oh! I didn't expect this news. I am so sorry to hear that he has moved on. I will lift your family up in my prayers. He certainly looks like a very proud husband in that picture. What a treasure you have now. It was made to comfort him, but before you hang it up on the wall - use it to get comfort from him now. (at least for a while). I'm so glad you were able to finish it for both of you. The real gift here was the "very proud husband" picture. (Thank him for that).
Gods blessings as you begin this new journey. Always know you can come here to weep, complain, get love and support or just be with friends. Please accept hugs, hugs and hugs from all of us here on the board.

Your Husband was a wonderful from those comments. I am very sorry for your loss, remember the good times.
The quilt is absolutely beautiful too!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember reading your story when you finished the quilt and being glad he got his own! He looks very happy with it and I hope this pictures gives you comfort as you grieve and adjust to this new chapter in your life.

My sympathy to you and your family, The quilt is so gorgeous.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. This was a very touching story, brought a tear to my eye. He looked like a wonderful man and I can tell from the picture he loved the quilt and you for making it for him. God bless you.

I love the quilt! You did a great job of making it appear as though you are looking out a window...And how lucky are you, that you found the perfect boarder fabric! This is a great pic of your husband, to be the last one, he looks very thrilled with a quilt(your work).Every quilter should be so blessed as to have a great pic of her hubby with a quilt she made him.
