I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. She was too, too young. I lost a dear friend to cancer who was 54.
Thank you for reminding us to take care of what is dear to our hearts...quilting. I hadn't even though of it. Your post and all the other posts really has brought me to start making arrangements for all of my quilting, knitting and other craft supplies. I have one daughter and a son. Neither are married & there are no grandchildren. It makes me sad to think that I will never have a grandchild to teach how to quilt. My daughter sews, but is not doing much of that lately. She has never made a quilt. I know that she will have first dibs on what she would like, and then to the quilting guild to be distributed to those in need. This has been a big eye-opener. I know what I will be working on ... getting my things in order! Thank you all ... I cried as I read your posts. Quilters are special people. We do care about humanity. My love to you all!
