My husband is Ok. He is going through the process of getting disability. They have diagnosed him with Congestive heart failure, emphysema, COPD, and sleep apnea. Probably will never be able to work again. He's only 40. This is why people should not smoke. He was a 2 pack a day smoker for many years. It was the smoking that caused the heart attack because his lungs couldn't supply enough oxygen.

You have great patience. I don't do the hard stuff any more but that is beautiful.

Gorgeous quilt!!!!!

Well.............................I love everything about it!!!!

Wow, that is gorgeous. I'm glad you posted a close-up photo, from a distance all I see is circles, love the way the stars are disguised or just melt into circles.

Lovely, lovely, lovely! Being a hand quilter myself, I know the number of hours that went into that. It will be treasured. (It better be anyway!!!)

I'm the BIL. I cannot wait to get my hands on it! I am so impressed with the time and effort Debra put into this for ME. I'm hardly deserving, but I am incredibly touched! THANK YOU DEB! This is probably one the most meaningful- scratch that- THE most meaningful birthday presents ever! It's absolutely stunning.

You sound like the best BIL anyone could ever have. You are lucky to be the wonderful recipient of this gorgeous quilt!
