Hi all:
I have been busy in my sewing room working on a very special quilt. My grandmother has been a big part of my life and now she is sick. She is 89 and had a hernia surgery 6 years ago. Found out recently the doctor that did the surgery did something wrong because now she has an infection and can't eat. She has been going to doctors for years and finally a new doctor was able to tell her what is wrong. The problem is she is so worn out and weak from not being able to eat that she has no desire to follow through with treatment for this. Anyhow, I wish I could be with her and care for her but I live in Ky and she is in PA. So, I thought I would make her a quilt to provide a small amount of comfort in addition to me calling as much as I can. sorry for the long winded explanation. I guess I needed to talk about it. I have not really talked about it just poured myself into making her quilt. So, here it is.... What do you think? I will be sending it to my dad who will visit her next week and bring it to her.

She will love your quilt. Not only will it keep her warm and cosy but she may perk up and start to get her will back. I know how you feel about being far away and can not help but this will be a comfort to her always. She will know you care.

Beautiful Quilt. Will cheer her up

nuttyhurricane 04-17-2010 02:07 PM

I am sure she will love it. It will make her feel a wrapped up as she would be if you were giving her a big hug. Making things for our loved one when we can't be with them helps both of us to feel loved. You in the expression and her in the receiving. May it encourage your grandma to try one more time.

That is a beautiful quilt. I'm so sorry about your dear grandma being so sick. I hope she get better soon. I'm sure your quilt with comfort her and show how much you care. Both of you are in my prayers.

All Thumbs 04-17-2010 06:21 PM

Very nice and the colors remind me of a once grand lady because I see light pinks (young vibrant child) darker pinks (woman) and the purple for years she is enduring this pain but well-supported by her immediate family. Thank you for being such a caring granddaughter. May we all have such a loving family. Prayers to all of you.

quiltinggirl 04-17-2010 06:49 PM

Wow! The colors are so pretty and I am sure it will bring comfort to your grandmother. My prayers are for a full and speedy recovery for her!

roseOfsharon 04-17-2010 08:40 PM

The quilt is very nice, I think the colors are very comforting and she will just love it .. mostly because it comes from you, from your heart.

jdavis 11-07-2010 03:53 PM

I just spotted your avatar on another post -- very pretty!

karenm36 11-07-2010 04:15 PM

It's beautiful and your Grandma will feel your love through and through this very special quilt! Be sure and ask someone to take pictures of her with the quilt...something then that you'll also cherish for years to come as she cherishes you and your love showing through this beautiful quilt.

twospoiledhuskies 11-07-2010 04:15 PM

Beautiful colors. I made one for my friend who was sick as well. She said every time she wrapped herself in it she
thought about all the hours it took me to make it for her.
She said it made her warm and fuzzy (just what I wanted!!!).
