I don't think I could have quilted anything to express the rage, fears, hurts, sadness, and anger that I was feeling. I know I wrote and wrote and cried. I was just now thinking of what I could have expressed through a quilt. I guess I should have focused on the heros, the acts of kindness, and hope for our future.

Interesting.

I'm working on a paper pieced wallhaning for a donation that my Guild is doing. When I get tired paper piecing I'm cutting out one of Bonnie Hunter's quilt patterns.

Working on the orange quilt that is in my Avatar. I got the back done (it is going to be a reversible quilt). I am outline embroidering fall leaves around the outside of the top and have about 2 1/2 sections left to do. I then want to paint inside the leaves. After that it will be off to the quilter to finish. I have to say I made good progress over the weekend.

Jennifer,

What a great pattern you found. I personally fear circles, but that pattern may be easier to follow.
Thank you for your service!

What a great and caring thing to do for your friend. I am making more strip piecing blocks to finish out what I need for size quilt I will make. Will add sashing, probably black.

What a wonderful thing, making that special quilt for your friend! I wish her good luck. I have made two glow in the dark pillow cases, and a table topper for my son who is a teacher. I will quilt the table topper later this week. I think I have done a lot considering I have a stomach virus!

[quote=ccthomas]It is so important to feel the nuturing, caring, concern, and love during a cancer survivor's battle and all acts of kindness mean so much to her and her loved ones. Let's hope these "lucky stars" brings much LUCK to her.

That is what I am hoping for too...I thought Lucky Stars was a very appropriate pattern to use for a quilt for her.

I will try to post a picture when I get the quilt done.

Sounds like lots of you are being productive this weekend whether quilting or otherwise.
