I started this quilt right after my dad passed away. I was making it for a family member but when it was done I realized WHAT I had done....all my tears and thoughts of my dad were in in every stitch. The label says : Remembering Daddy ~ Love Sis..with the date. I will never be able to part with it. =)

Ronna, so sorry for your loss. The quilt is gorgeous - just glows. I wouldn't be able to part with it either ... it's ok to treat yourself.

Oh, you have to keep this one! It's your therapy. I love it. You can always make your family member another one.

Beautiful! I totally relate to what you are saying. I had just finished my first quilting class when I lost my father this past July and honestly, I think it is what has made the last three months tolerable. Of course the wonderful people on the board here have helped too :D Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece.
