Positively Purple
 
1 Attachment(s)
I made this for the friend of a friend who is about to start chemo and radiation treatment. I was told the woman loves purple, and I do, too, so I jumped right in and use a bunch of purples around the most darling little print with purple-flowered wreaths.

Finished, the quilt makes me think of purple Kool-Aid, it's that purple. I hope she likes it!

I'm sure this "kool-aid" quilt will be quite comforting. Sweet quilt and even sweeter intentions ;-)

I knew a high school girl who was diagnosed with breast cancer and very aggressive form. She needed a bathrobe and liked purple. Your quilt made me think of that as I had completely forgotten about making one for her. After two years of treatments, I tutored her and she finished high school, she is alive and well and the mother of two teenagers. That was about 30 years ago so will hope that the purple color does its trick again for your friend. Very kind of you.

"Kool Aid"...... a perfect name for a perfect quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Arleners 06-30-2012 04:51 PM

It's really Kool! I think a cheerful quilt like that should be helpful for her to get through this rough period in her life. You are being a good friend.

What a wonderful friend you are! I think you came up with a wonderful name "Cool Aide" aka Kool-Aid. ;)
