Your quilt is a wonderful tribute to your friend. I'm sorry you lost her. She knew her well-loved fabric was going to the right person.

I am so sorry for your loss. Beautiful quilt.

Yes your quilt is beautiful and a lovely way to remember your dear friend. As I learn to quilt, I wonder what my mom and my cousin are thinking or laughing. (Both have passed away from cancer.) My cousin was the first quilter I knew and she did everything by hand and her quilts were extra ordinary to say the least.

I love these stories, and am sorry for the loss of your friend, but what a beautiful gift to leave you!

Three years ago, my sister (a non-sewer) bought our grandmother a selection of 12 fabrics for Christmas. Different colors, different qualities. Our grandmother died the following March and the fabrics were never even taken out of the box. I asked my mom if I could have them. I used the fabrics to make my sister a "Sister's Choice" quilt for the following Christmas. It was a great way to tie the three of us together.

I think sometimes the least of what goes into a quilt is the fabric...the love, the memories, the attachment to family and history...are all so much more important. I need to go wipe my eyes now... :)

God Bless

I agree it is lovely and a nice way to remember your friend. It is hard to lose a friend. I know I have lost two in the past year and a half. One to cancer and one to an accident that made her a quadriplegic and she lived for another 18 months. It is hard! Jan

What a lovely tribute to your friend. I'm so sorry you lost her...

RUSewing 02-06-2011 09:09 AM

Again thank you for sharing some of yourself in the replies, your condolences and nice comments about "her" quilt.

Sewing is a wonderful thing. When I started on this, I sewed through tears, but after awhile, the funny things she said and did covered the pain. And my heart began to heal.

jdavis 02-08-2011 04:09 PM

What a touching story! So sorry for your loss....good for you, creating something in her memory.

aneternalpoet 02-08-2011 04:13 PM

You have a wonderful spirit to honor your friend. This is so pretty, and I am sure she is looking down, saying , " Aw girlfriend, you did it!"...
