    Default "Butterflies of Hope"

    This is the first time I am trying to post a picture of a quilt. I made this quilt for a friend that is just beginning her battle with breast cancer. Yesterday when I gave it to her see was so happy and thankful. I said it was a reminder of all the people that were praying for her.

    Beautiful quilt and wonderful quilt story. I recently did the same thing for a dear friend. She passed away just 10 days after I visited and gave her the quilt I had made, but I am so happy that I was able to share my love to her in a quilt her family can cherish. We never know the extent of a gesture of this nature. Hoping your friend can battle strong!

    Oh dear! You made me cry. How very sweet of you to have honored her with your time and talent.
