They were distributed to the guests, and as they gathered around for the graveside service, I looked around at my not-so-perfect quilts keeping warm those who love my family. The funeral director commented, later, that this was a beautiful gathering of color on a such a cold and snowy day.
Now I have tears, my heart truly goes out to you, your husband and the family.My goodness, it has been such a tough time for you all The beauty of the colors from your quilts is not what I envisioned in my mind's eye as I read your post, but that of the beauty of love in those quilts,and that which is wrapped in the hearts of all that they covered. My thoughts/prayers for you.
