My sister lost her battle with colan cancer when she was just 58. She was very much into quilting & one of the few things I was able to obtain after her death was a small Sunbonnet Sue applique that I think she was doing as a class project. It still has the needle in it & is unfinished. I have it in one of my spare bedrooms & everytime I see that little quilt, it reminds me of my sister's "unfinished" life.
