He looks like one happy camper...penguins and a woman who loves him to the end. I think this is what every man seeks.
My dh is a penguin fan also and he has a penguin quilt that goes with him to his numerous hospital stays. I think your hubby was a man of good taste. He chose penguins and YOU. I will say a prayer for the both of you.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Quilts take on even more meaning after a loved one has died and bring even more comfort to those left behind.

I too immediately teared up seeing his radiant face and reading your post. I lost my husband four years ago. To share the power of quilts, once we moved a hospital bed into our bedroom, it was the quilt his grandmother made for him as a boy that he wanted to sleep under. Big hug and shared tears. I'm thankful to have been loved by such a wonderful man, but I still cry over losing him.

lisajane 05-15-2012 01:55 PM

I think you had posted this quilt one other time....because I remember seeing it in another post, and admiring it. It is a beautiful quilt. I am so sorry to hear of your loss, I know you and your family are devastated. Stay strong, prayers are with you.

QuickStitch 05-15-2012 03:07 PM

I am so sorry for your loss. It sure is a beautiful quilt, and I'm sure that made him glad to be able to look at it all the time. I would frame this picture beside the quilt as this is a really good picture. May God be with you and your family during this time and always.

Lady Jane 05-15-2012 03:11 PM

I'm so glad that he got to see it. My heart goes out to you.

hairquilt 05-15-2012 03:47 PM

I couldn;t have said it any better myself. I'm so sorry for your loss.

southernmema 05-15-2012 04:16 PM

Now that the tears have stopped I can say from experience that we never know what we might encounter just around the corner. I loved your quilt when you first posted it, and thought your husband treasured it too, but I love it even more now....and I would imagine you do too. He knew you loved him greatly and I know you will miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. linda

mcdaniel023 05-15-2012 04:44 PM

You can tell how proud he was of this quilt. May your memories bring you comfort in the days to come.

QuiltnLady1 05-15-2012 05:09 PM

Deb, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so glad that you were able to finish the quilt and get such a wonderful picture of your Hubby before he passed. He looks so very pleased with the quilt -- I would print that picture on fabric and attach it to the back of the quilt as a rememberance. By the way -- the quilt is wonderful!!

sewbizgirl 05-15-2012 05:11 PM

It made me cry to see his happy face and think he's not with you any longer... So sorry you lost him! Now every time you look at the quilt you can remember how happy you made him. (((((Huge hug!!)))))

Pilgrim 05-15-2012 05:26 PM

You have my deepest sympathies in the loss of your husband. Don't know what I would do without mine. It was wonderful that you could finish this for him and he was able to see it completed and enjoy it.

4girlsmimi 05-15-2012 05:31 PM

So sorry for your loss. So glad you got the quilt finished for him. It is a very pretty quilt. Thank you for sharing it.

Evelyn 05-15-2012 05:49 PM

I offer you my sympathy. Your DH sure looks happy and proud with the quilt.

In January I lost my husband to Alzheimers. During his last week under Hospice care he was covered with his "security quilt" I had made it for him in 1988 when he was undergoing chemo and radiation . It was a simple blue drunkers path.
Our oldest daugher now has that quilt.

mrsjdt 05-15-2012 08:10 PM

Great quilt for a happy man. My sympathy to you as I know the path you travel(just lost my DH 3/14/12)

Rose_P 05-15-2012 08:39 PM

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's good that you made this sweet quilt that put a smile on his face. I'm sure the two of you had many happy times over the years and hope the memories are a comfort to you.

beatys9 05-15-2012 09:44 PM

The look on his face is pure joy - what a wonderful picture & gift. I am so sorry for your loss. Peace be with you.

ShirlR 05-15-2012 10:51 PM

My deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your Dear Husband. I know what you are going through, for my dear, sweet, wonderful husband passed away this March. I am so glad you were able to get his penguin quilt finished so he could enjoy it; and we can see by the look on his face how proud he was of it, and of you for making it. I think it is such a nice idea to have it hanging in your bedroom. The quilt is just so pretty. My prayers are with you. ((((((Hugs)))))

sewdarnbusy 05-16-2012 01:22 AM

Oh Deb.... I'm so sorry for your loss. What a blessing this to have taken this last photo of your DH. Thanks for sharing it.
The Quilt is lovely, and your husband seems very pleased to show it off in the photo. It's such a sweet photo.
