The good thing from it is it is going to be hung in our local hospital Cancer Office. I hope people that come in will enjoy looking at it and give them some comfort.
Your quilt is fabulous, a genuine work of art. You are so gifted with talent! I think I would have a very difficult time giving something away (even for a charity) that I had worked so hard on. Just goes to show you have a generous heart. There is no way to justify the "petty" attitude of the person who bought the quilt. My sister made the comment once that we had better "lay up for yourself treasures in heaven, 'cause it's for sure we're not going to have them here" I think she was right!
God Bless you. Your quilt is wonderful and will no doubt provide inspiration for all those who see it. Thank God it is going to be displayed. It's truly an inspiration!
