Quilt for a Friend
A friend of ours has started chemo - one and half days a month. When I gave her the quilt, she was so surprised and kept saying you made this for me? I said yes and I hope this gives you a little bit comfort and explained this was something I could do for her. She love sitting and looking at a lake so I made this quilt. The next day was the start of her second chemo sessions and her husband sent me a picture of her getting her chemo and she has the quilt over her. So rewarding.

That's so pretty. Such a nice gesture of you.
I have started gifting quilts I have made in the past to different people who have touched me. Recently it was to a couple who just got married and they were over the moon about the quilt I gave them. Another table runner to a new neighbor who just couldn't believe I would have given that to her . It just feels so good and worth all the hours I may have spent making them. My kids and grandkids have their quilts I made for them and at my age (78) I need to start giving certain things away. It is such a rewarding thing to do.
Have a good day!

A beautiful peronalized quilt is always the best! Thanks for sharing your time, talent and treasure for a friend in need. Infusion places are always sooooo cold, so besides the hug, it will provide warmth too.

Some have challenging journeys - and sometimes feeling the love and care of a friend can make a difference in that journey. A beautiful and meaningful quilt gift for your friend may be the best medicine. Nice work!
