    This is the first quilt I did in a long time. It was made for my parents as a Christmas gift. My younger brother died last year, November 16th and they wanted a family quilt. I had no pattern and used Electric Quilt Printables from Joanns.

    Here are some more pics, My mom found the story about the Dragonfly and it has given her some peace. My brother never drank or smoked , but died from cancer. A cancer that wasn't found until it was too late. The docs gave him 90 days he made it 7 months. Rest in Peace dear Tommy.
