I have a very good friend with stage four ovarian cancer; she has been going through some pretty bad things, such as two brain surgeries in less that a month.
She is a cat lover and so when I found flannel that had cats on it, I had to have it. I made a good size lap quilt with a white flannel with a red toule design for the back. The cats were gray with red ribbon around their necks. Red in my friend's favorite color.
2 Doods, can you tell me what kind of quilt you made for your friend? I don't understand what you mean by a "ribbon quilt"
By the way, the Passage Quilt is a lovely idea and your group gets my thanks for making them. Keep up the very good and nice work. What a great bunch of ladies to put in their time to do this.

That is a lovely quilt and what a wonderful thought. When my husband passed away I didn't know that he would be taken out in a body bag and it was a terrible shock to see that. Your group is doing a kind thing for the families.

Hmmm, I have a friend (well, a little more than an aquaintance, but not a close friend) who has cancer. Now I'm thinking of making one for her. . . thanks for the wonderful idea! I know her husband would appreciate it. How do you present these?

Oh how surprising. Phoning condolences to a friend today and she told me that she saw her brother taken from the nursing home . Said she thought of me because body was covered with a pretty quilt to give dignity not bl bag.
Knew the undertaker for many yrs but was trying to distract her sister at same time. Was north of Toronto , ON
(My husband was taken from house in body bag and very upsetting)
Will tell friend "Passage Quilt" She'll like that.
Coincidence or what !!! Beautiful string quilt.
