    Default Our Lady of Guadalupe

    I made this quilt for my son's mother-in-law. During the pandemic, she was very sick with lupus, which affected her liver. It took many months of care with a hematologist, a nutritionist, and physical therapists to restore her to health. She was depressed from the bad state of her health. I suggested that I custom make a quilt for her with the images of our Lady of Guadalupe, because she is originally from Mexico. The quilt delighted her and cheered her up. After she received it, she was inspired to paint and redecorate her master bedroom.

    So kind, so thoughtful and a meaningful blessing to her. Gestures of kindness are important to more than the receiver and the giver.
