Secret Garden quilt from a 2001 "Quick Quilts" for my SIL. July 14 she had a basement fire in which smoke permeated the rest of the house. She was in essence getting a whole new house. August 14 she had a heart attack, had a stent, several problems including COPD, afib, etc., but was released the following Monday and passed away within 36 hours. She received the quilt on Monday, and we talked Tuesday night, 6 hours before she passed away. "I love it. Can I used it? Can I wash it?" The quilt will be on display [surprised me ... guess that is being done now?] and buried [which I did request] with her. I used scrap fabrics and some from my mom's stash who SIL knew well. It meant a lot to her ... even if for just a day. I copied some ideas for the label from some board members.

I ove it and also the sentiment that went with this quilt. She will cherish it always,

That is very special.......

How wonderful of you to make her the quilt and what a precious memory of her last hours. So sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.
