Buckeye comfort quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am terrible at keeping secrets! So I will share this here, because the recipient is not a member.

One of my best friends was diagnosed a few weeks ago with a rare/ aggressive cancer. She hopes to start chemo next week to slow down disease progression. I still can’t wrap my brain around this.
So, I used up some of my frustration/anger energy making her a quilt for chemo days. She is a huge Ohio State Buckeye fan and alum, and I saw this pattern on Pinterest. Easy to replicate. Lots of love and tears in this quilt.
(And I did not see the mistake until I looked at this picture! Too late, she is my quilting buddy, and she will understand! Haha)

I am busy making freezer meals for her husband, and will deliver all in a few days.
Thanks for listening....

My daughter made the freezer meals for us and it really made it easier for hub and myself... She had notes on each as to how it was to be made, time & pop into oven

Sorry to hear about your friend! Your well placed anger and frustration turned into a beautiful give of love. I only found your mistake after you mentioned it, and I really had to search!!

luvstoquilt 01-06-2019 10:50 AM

I searched and can’t find it! She is going to love it! Prayers for her, her family and you..her friend.

Very nice!

cashs_mom 01-06-2019 11:12 AM

It's beautiful! Its amazing how those mistakes show up in pics but not so much when you just look at it.

It's a gorgeous quilt anyway and I'm sure she'll love it and feel wrapped in your love when she uses it. Hugs

Beautiful quilt, it will bring her great comfort during her treatment. I really had to search to find the mistake but it makes the quilt all the more special since she is your quilting buddy.

sue.ross.8782 01-06-2019 11:40 AM

I can't detect the mistake, so it must be pretty small. Good luck to your friend in her cancer treatment. There are four OSU grads in my family, so we understand the Buckeye Love. May she come out well on the other side of treatment, to cheer the Buckeyes at another Rose Bowl game.;)

RuthFru 01-06-2019 01:43 PM

I did see the mistake but your quilt is beautiful and your friend will love it. I will keep her and her family in my prayers. I have an older brother in the cancer hospital and know how difficult it is to see this happening. I am praying for a miracle that he will pull through. I am also a Buckeye Fan and think you did a great job.

feline fanatic 01-06-2019 01:52 PM

This quilt will surely bring your friend comfort and she will feel your love every time she wraps up in it. Are those buckeye candies on the leaf? Very clever and cute addition!

maryb119 01-06-2019 03:03 PM

So sorry about your friend. I don't think a mistake was made at all. The quilt was made with love and that is what matters.

JustAbitCrazy 01-06-2019 03:59 PM

You made a really gorgeous quilt out of a fairly simple pattern. You're a good friend. Don't sweat whatever "mistake" there is, no one will see anything if you don't tell them, and probably still won't even if you do tell. Good luck and prayers to your friend.

jillmc 01-06-2019 04:16 PM

You are all so sweet. Thank you for your kind words and prayers. I have lost 3 close friends in the last 5 years to various cancers....no one is going to want to be my friend! I love this lady with all my heart, and this hurts.

I'm so sorry for your loss jillmc.
The quilt is beautiful and the meals will be
well appreciated I'm sure.
I said a prayer for you all.

anonymous 01-06-2019 06:31 PM

Cancer is just so awful. Your friend is going to love the quilt and feel your love everytime she uses it. Hugs to you and will say a prayer for your friend.

BrendaK 01-06-2019 06:43 PM

Didn't find a mistake, didn't look for a mistake. This is one beautiful quilt filled with love. Prayers to your friend on her on her journey. BrendaK

All I see is love. No mistake was made. There is One who is perfect and I will keep you and your friend surrounded by positive energy. So sorry you are going through this rough spell. My son was diagnosed in Jan of last year with cancer. He came through fine and is now cancer free. It is a tough battle for all. Good luck. I am working on his victory quilt and hope to have it done in a few days and in his hands.

From a fellow buckeye... stunning quilt! I’m sure your friend will love it. Prayers for your friend and for you as you support her.

It is a beautiful quilt that your friend will cherish and be comforted by the love that went into it. May God grant her healing and peace.

Awesome quilt. Prayers for the best outcome

Ellen 1 01-07-2019 07:57 AM

would not have noticed the mistake if you had not "forced" me to look for it. :-). Very nice quilt, your friend will love it, and her husband will love the prepared meals!!

klswift 01-07-2019 08:23 AM

There is no mistake. You simply added a design element! What a kind thing for you to do for your friend.

Carol Ann 01-07-2019 08:27 AM

Beautiful!! Love it.

anniep 01-07-2019 08:44 AM

That is beautiful, and you are an amazing friend! I hope your friend does well with her treatments.

sewnclog 01-07-2019 09:41 AM

I pray her treatments are successful; they can do great things now, so I hope she bounces back. The quilt is gorgeous (I'm a transplanted buckeye) Still consider it 'home' even though I've been here longer than any where else. My niece and nephew would love it; they too are die hard buckeye fans.

Jules51 01-07-2019 01:54 PM

Beautiful, thoughtful and warm gift for your friend! God Bless both of you.

pchp 01-07-2019 06:18 PM
