Merry Christmas everyone,
Just needed to share this with those that will understand. 2 years ago on Dec. 26th the Lord called home a very dear friend of mine.. she was closer than a sister. Very much missed. That year she was making her daughter-in-laws totes. One was finished the other, 3/4 of the way done. When her husband gifted me with all her quilting stuff, this tote was in it; waiting to be finished. I took it out many times in an attempt to finish it. Her daughter-in-law would of loved to have it, but every attempt brought back many memories and it was just too emotional to even attempt to finish it. So I would lovingly pack it back away, dried the tears and went on to something else. Well the other day.. I pulled it out and just finished it.. no thinking of what it represented.. just fabric needing to be put together.. I finally finished it... and now her daughter-in-law will receive it this Christmas, as I said in the title.. it will be a "Gift from our Angel." Just needed to share with those that would understand... thanks for listening.

I understand completely! She will love the gift!

She will love the tote and the fact that you finished it for her. Blessings to you for making it.

(hugs} I am sorry for the loss of your dear friend. My best friend and I are that close...I can't even imagine.

I'm sure her DIL will cherish this gift.

This must have been a very special friend and you are just as special to do this for her DIL. Some things money just can not buy.

I am sure it will be something special she will cherish always. You are such a wonderful friend to finish it for her.

very pretty! She will be touched and I am sure she will love it and you!!

I completely understand and tears welled up just reading your story. There are angels out there watching us and she is smiling right now

May you always find comfort in the shadow of angels wings for your kindness.

So sweet! Love the color too.
