This was made for a special person. I started it when I found she was going to have chemo, a few days later they cancelled her chemo and sent her home to die. 2 to 4 wks is what they are saying now. Going to deliver it today.

it is so beautiful. How wonderful that she will have something so filled with love to comfort her

You know I've been bothered by how do I give this, what do I say? Hey heres a quilt because your dying. When I started making it I thought she would pull through with the chemo and it could be something she could take with her during the procedure. You'll never really get to enjoy this but here. Theres a part of me that feels guilty and afraid to give it to her. I'm so sick of cancer, its the third one in a year in our circle.

It's a beautiful quilt! Dresdens are one of my favourites.
Maybe you could say something like....."when I saw this pattern, I just had to whip it up. And the more I quilted this, the more I thought of you, so I would like you to have this"

I'm so very sorry to hear about your friend! The quilt you made for her is stunning! It was obviously a labor of much love...hugs for you both!

As to the "what do I say" thing...you just give it to her and say... "because I love you"! Words won't be a big deal...she'll know and you'll know and you'll both cry and bond...

Beautiful quilt and such a generous gesture on your part. If you don't mind my asking, what was Jan's role in this quilt? I use her card trick pattern a lot.

My QB and I made a quilt for one of our precious friends. When she passed away instead of an arrangement of flowers on top of the casket----they put her quilt.

Jingle 07-12-2011 06:37 AM

Absolutely beautiful, so sorry about your friend. It will give her comfort in her last days. Good of you to make this for her.
