I am sorry for your loss. But you are absolutely right about not letting perfectionism keep you from quilting for your loved ones. Quilting is another way women nurture.

I have a fleece/flannel throw I made for my husband during his last months of life. It is nothing fancy, just a piece of fleece with a piece of flannel hand-tied together and fringed around the outside edges. My grandchildren spent many nights cuddled in that throw after he passed. I still enjoy wrapping in it while watching TV. It gives as much mental comfort as physical comfort. I am so glad you and your sister have those quilts to comfort you. My mother thought quilts were a frivolous waste of time spent. She always told me "idle hands are the devil's workshop" but she just didn't think quilting was time well spent.

Deepest sympathy for your loss, but once again, you have proven what I have said for years --a quilt is a bandaid for the soul. It can heal the deepest hurt.

So sorry for your loss. Praying that you'll feel the love of those dear ladies wrapped around you in the quilts they cherished. God bless you
