    Default The 'Brenda' Quilt.

    Last March the small quilt group that I belong to lost a very special member, we had been very good friends for many years and her death was sudden and unexpected. We decided it would help us if we made a quilt in her memory which we would donate to her favourite charity, the air ambulance. This is the result, which included some of her fabric stash.[ATTACH=CONFIG]510212[/ATTACH]

    Beautiful quilt, and touching story behind it.
    I'm very sorry for your loss, and hope making this quilt helped ease some of your and the quilt group's sorrow.
    Regards,
    Kif

    What a beautiful quilt to remember your dear friend with. I also belong to s small quilt group. We lost a very special member, friend and the rest of us Decided to finish most of her UFO's . It was a lot of fun and so rewarding when family members received their quilts.
