I have given over 20 quilts the last 5 years that went to terminally ill or very ill people. Some were dialysis patients, just elderly or very ill. When they passed on the family kept the quilt. The most memorable was just last year. My boss has a college friend that has been struggling with cancer. By the time I finished it was evident she would not survive but she loved taking her quilt for chemo. When she died I assumed her husband kept or donated the quilt. About 3 months later my favorite client walked in, hugged me and starting crying as she told me about the quilt I made her daughter and how she cherished it so much since her daughter had passed away. All that time I had no idea she was the woman's mom. It was amazing to see how much that quilt meant to the family left behind.
