Your husband is looking down on this quilt with pride that you did this for him! Good luck in you next adventure...Just remember that his is right there by your side....

I finally quilted my healing quilt on my machine....probably the last one I will do on it since I have set up my Pinnacle and Juki.... this quilt was hard to quilt...more emotionally...just need to bind it and put on the label....

You have really been busy. Did the sewing "therapy" help? I've had trouble getting back into sewing. Do you still want to meet at the quilt show new weekend? Gay

It did help Gay....although today...I cried alot....but crying is cleansing....it's just been one of those weekends. Yes I would love to meet you at the Dallas Show....

I just saw your quilt and it is truly beautiful. I am impressed with your courage and determination.

I cannot tell you how much I admire your strength. You remembered the shared happiness and mutual enjoyment to overcome your pain, and created a piece of art in a memory that celebrates and honors you both.

I had a hard time tying my shoes. You go girl.

Thanks so much, sure do miss him, he was my life. But, day by day I'll make it through. Some days are harder than others, but I have to keep moving forward.

Jeananne,
The finished quilt is beautiful! Glad you finished it. Have you had time to try out the new quilting machine? I've been thinking about you. Last Monday I passed the 1 year mark and I know that yours is coming up. I kept busy all day so it wasn't quite as hard as I had anticipated. Gay

Your quilt is gorgeous and will have a lot of meaning for you!

I am so sorry for your loss - quilting is such good therapy.

Thanks for your thoughts Gay. The one year mark is something I'm not looking forward to, it has been almost 5 months so far. Still little hurdles I am jumping over it seems. I am going to start a Grief Program the first of May, so maybe that will help move me forward more. I haven't been able to quilt on the quilting system much, the weather has been so beautiful, so I have been outside almost every weekend. I am going to try to make it a point to get in there today and practice some more. Thanks for the thought and prayers....talk to you soon!

I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute. Something you can wrap yourself up in connected to his love.
