Stunning quilt....and I agree, quilting is "powerful medicine" indeed.

What a wonderful, touching story. I am glad your DD made the suggestion for you to quilt. I love the way this one is turning out. I love the red thread you are using. Thanks for sharing.

Last summer after I was dx w/breast cancer, but before I began chemo, DD brought 3 grocery bags of clothes they no longer wear (DD, DSIL & 16 yr old DGD) and suggested 'Make quilts Mom.' She knew it would help me to de-stress, and it worked. I finished 2 by THanksgiving, but saved this one for this year.

Thank you all for praising my quilting, but it's the SOFTWARE that's doing the quilting, not me :lol: :lol: :lol: I just push the buttons on the machine. I WILL take praise for figuring out how to use the hoop, though :D

Joanne, every accomplishment gives us satisfaction and every pat on the back makes us glow with happiness. Whatever works, that is what counts.
