    Sending prayers for her and her family. How sad, especially at this time of year. What a kind gesture to send a comfort quilt for her to hang on during this tragic time. Bless you.

    Beautiful quilt! I'm amazed that you would do so much piecing even though you knew it would have to be done in a hurry. I would have probably taken the safe route and done just borders all around.

    The quilt is perfect for a young girl and the giver is a a sweet, generous and caring. I also love YoBroSew's story about the pillowcase.

    I thank you all so much for being so very caring and supportive. This kind of support is part of what keeps me going when things get tough. This board is the best!!!
    I wish I had heard the story of the pillowcase before as I love it and would have liked to add that to the quilt. It is such a sweet and thoughtful thing. I will remember it tho for another time.

    Awe, this is so sad. It's especially difficult seeing that empty chair during the holidays. The quilt is adorable, God bless you for doing this for this little girl, prayers that it will bring comfort.

    So young to have to deal with this loss. What a great thing for you to do. I made one for my brother and before I could get it complete, he passed so I gave it to my sisters autistic grandson and told him every time he wrapped himself up in the quilt, it was a hug from Uncle Carson. He loves it and I am sure this little girl will find comfort wrapping up in this quilt. Great job.

    This is heartbreaking & sad beyond words. My prayers are with the family with hopes that God gives them the strength to get through this tragedy. So grateful that you were able to do this for their daughter. You have such a giving, caring heart & this is the type of thing that will help them deal with this terrible loss. May God bless them & you for this.
