Made this quilt in one day. It spoke to me, someday I will be free and the wind blowing in my hair. I'm a red-head too.

Isn't it great to have some way to always express ourselves. A tactile way to keep busy and still say and feel what our hearts, minds and memories are holding. Whether it is happy or sad, it's great to have this form of expression. Beats all heck out of a pill bottle or other self destructive method. Don't you love those 10 day fishing trips? And how about the returns! God holds us all; we just have to hold on too.

It is hard, but time heals does help. I lost my parents that lived with us for 3 years within a 9 month period of time.
It's been a year now, but still miss them every day. Keeping busy helps. I know they are both with the Lord and therefore I have reason to smile.

Love your quilt, and thanks for sharing your story.--It's interesting how things come along to comfort us at just the right moment. Lost my parents in 89 and 91 - It is not fun to be an orphan at any age!

I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my parents within 2 years of one another, so by the time I was 25 I had lost both my parents. I thought my heart would break in two, but slowly, one day at a time I worked out of it. You have an amazing quilt to remind you that you are strong and you will once again fly like the quilt. It is so gorgeous and you can always look at it and know that you are now stronger than ever and things will get better. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you and keep you in his loving arms.
