LOL! All these stories really warm my heart! Several years ago I corrupted my BFF. She was suffering from cancer & needed something to occupy her mind. She was just going to make a little lap quilt but y'know how it goes... she took one trip to our LSQ & it was "Katie, bar the door"! She was really very sick but I honestly think quilting kept her alive for a lot longer than anyone thought she would be (her cancer MD was expecting a baby & she wouldn't hear of not making her a quilt!). It was a blessing & a pleasure for me to get to share those times with her & I like to think she watches me now when I quilt!
