It is very good of you to help her stay busy during her time of sorrow, and what better way than quilting! I hope she likes it for it is one way to work out the hardness life seems to throw at us from time to time.

What great pictures. I love that you are helping your friend with her loss. Often people are there at the beginning and fade away. It is great she is enjoying the quilting experience. I lost my quilting buddy a couple years ago. She is still missed dearly.

The widow has more problems than just losing her DH (as if that isn't bad enough) He had Parkinsons for 10 years and she took care of him. Four years ago she suffered a brain hemorrhage and nearly died. She has some memory problems and has problems understanding instructions. She was very confused about folding the strips and sewing them back together. Every time a strip matched up she's say, "Oh no, are they suppose to do that?" She was very thrilled when it was finished and wants to do a RWB right away. Of course we couldn't find a RWB jelly roll.

It is a very kind and a great way to help others. After my mother died last year, quilting is what helped me so much to give me something I enjoy, and keep a real connection to my mother, because she was a quilter all her life.
