I made a lap quilt for a friend of my daughter. This friend was extremely helpful in atime of need and they are quite close. She had been in the Army and her husband was serving his second tour in Iraq so I made her a patriotic quilt. My daughter said she loved it but I never even got an email thank you from her. A few years later I asked my daughter if the friend ever used her quilt and the reply was that she kept it folded over the back of a chair in her bedroom and would not put it on her bed because her dogs would sleep on it. Last year I heard that this friend is suffering from cancer of the cervix. I made her a single bed size quilt of the cancer colors and told her whenever she needed a hug to wrap up in it. I heard from her via facebook but by daughter told me that the friend took it to the hospital with her every time she had to go. This friend is not very demonstrative but when you hear things like that second hand, it kind of makes it all worthwhile.
