Keli, a friend that I went to high school with years ago, passed away a year ago at a young age of 40, leaving behind her 8 year old daughter (she had cancer).
I have never known of such a close friendship as that of what Keli had with another girl I went to high school with, Debbi. This past year has been incredibly hard on Debbi, so I thought I would make a Memory Quilt and give to Debbi on Saturday night when a bunch of us from high school went out to honor and remember Keli. I was in such a rush to get this done before Saturday night, so I am very unhappy with the results (puckers in the quilt, corners don't match up perfectly, etc). I hope Debbi can look beyond the mistakes and see it for the memories.
Thanks for looking!

Hey, Sis, I think you did a beautiful job and that it's a wonderful gift. Keli was a wonderful friend to you and so many others. This is a great tribute. And you know what? Take a good look at the beautiful quilts your MIL made and you'll find that they aren't perfect either. This a real treasue and I'm sure it will be loved for years to come. I'm so proud of you!
