    Default Christmas quilt for a friend

    This is a quilt that I started in a class at my favorite quilt shop. I wanted to give it to a friend for Christmas, so I worked on it instead of the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt. My friend was diagnosed this fall with an aggressive form of ALS. She may not make it to next Christmas. The pattern is called Archer, but I forget the designer.

    Nice quilt. I know your friend will love it. Prayers for her. That is such a terrible disease. I lost a dear friend to that a few years ago. Heartbreaking! Prayers for her and for a cure.
