the hospice my grandmother was in gave her a quilt when she was admitted.. it was a very simple 4 patch, but it rich colors. who ever made it, had used machine embroidery to put something (can't remember the exact words) about each stitch holding a prayer for her.

when she passed away, my aunt got that quilt. she also has take great comfort from it... i made 4 (so far) and mailed them in grammy's memory.. so you can always find someone who needs the comfort that a quilt keeps on giving.
