    I made this lap quilt in 1996 when husband was dying of cancer. I quilted a lot back then. It gave my hands something to do when he was awake and wanted me near. After he was gone. I put quilting away until last Nov. It brought to many memories.. So glad that it now brings happy memories.

    Very nice quilt. Many here have used quilting as a safe, peaceful place to go when they are dealing "things". Glad that you have come back to it and that it is once again a good place to be.

    Your quilt is very peaceful. So many of us have found solace in quilting. While my only sister was dying of cancer 4 years ago, I too was able to find peace in my quilting. I am glad that you have good memories of the past and your husband. Now it is time to come back to your craft and enjoy it once again. Welcome back.

    Very nice quilt!! Your statement reminds me of our 4-H pledge, as a kid.
    To use our heads , hands, heart and health.
    It all works to keep our sanity through very stressful times.
    Welcome back to quilting. Seems to be a safe harbor for a lot of us, in a storm tossed world.
