Several years ago I made a quilt for an elderly friend who had watched me make several quilts for others. She kept teasing me and asking when I was going to make a quilt for her. She loved looking through my Q books, and she kept going back to one watercolor quilt in particular that she had seen me working on as a wedding quilt for a young friend. I was handquilting another one with that design when she asked 'When are you going to make one for me?' I took the last stitch and said,'This one's for you.' She was speechless. She slept under it until she passed away - even insisted on having it in Hospice. She was a dear, dear friend, and I miss her. Her family keeps it on her bed to this day.
