The quilt pictured here today was sent to my sister Leenie. Leenie had her first lumpectomy about 3 weeks ago. She needs radiation. We were getting ready to head to a wedding today. Very bitter sweet as we were supposed to have two weddings in two weeks but tragically my sister's future brother in law was taken to heaven with a horrible freak accident. I took the quilt to the wedding with me and when it was almost over I said, Leenie I have something for you. I gave her the note from you and Mary Ellen first and then gave her the quilt. She put it in her arms and kept hugging it. I said Leenie, I really had absolutely no idea this was coming for you. What perfect timing. She took it to the car and said, I know what I am cuddling up with tonight. She looked as each piece of fabric, LOVES THE ROSES!!! and the words and then said, when I retire, I am gonna do this and then I can make things for your friends. Thank you so much Mary Ellen and zfatcat. Leenie is going to contact you both. They are staying in their motorhome tonight near where todays wedding was and she said, I am using this tonight to cuddle with, hubby can use his sleeping bag. You have touched her heart in a way that you will ever know. Two years ago Terrie and now Leenie. Thank you just isn't enough.
