Your client will be overwhelmed. How nice of you.

Thanks. This is the email she sent to me:
Dear, dear Fran,
Already, the generous gift from you heart has begun to bring healing. It has somehow freed me to do the crying that I needed to do, but many of those tears are because of the warm and vivid memories I have of those shirt sleeves having held me close and touched me with such love.
I love the quilt! That doesn't quite seem to say enough, but I do, and I will always treasure your love and generosity and kindness in making it for me.
Thank you again,
Ruth
I had no idea a quilt could bring healing, so if you ever feel so inclined to do that for a friend, I would suggest you do just that!
