quilting, Paul's middle sister Brenda was having what everyone thought was a routine operation. As I quilt, I do a lot of thinking, almost meditating. Do you?I thought about Brenda all day that day, especially because I periodically received text messages from her daughter Michelle. As the day went on, the reports got less and less positive. While I was quilting, I thought I'd send the finished quilt to Brenda for her recuperation. Unfortunately, she didn't make it, and we ended up attending her funeral soon thereafter.
When we got home from the funeral in Michigan, I finished the quilt and thought I'd send it to Michelle who, being the only one of Brenda's children to live nearby, ended up making all the funeral arrangements, handling an estate sale, and now selling Brenda's house. I hope this offers a little comfort in the coming months. The finished size is 60" x 60". Although it looks gray in the photo, the sashing is an adorable confetti fabric, and it is simply quilted (sorry you can't see how I did it), but I think it turned out really nice. I haven't downloaded the photo we took with the camera yet, but here's one taken at quilt guild with someone's phone. It felt good to get it in the mail yesterday.

it is a lovely quilt and knowing that you were making it for her mother should mean a lot to her
