Then, my quilt group gave me the teacup quilt that we'd been working on as a group since 2004 when I brought back the blue flowered fabric from Copenhagen, one of the places Dick and I went after our last choir trip. My friend Cathy quilted it after I pieced it with the blocks that everyone made using the fabric. Can you see the doll reading that she quilted to represent my work with adult learners?
Both quilts were given to me at a point in my treatment when I was physically and mentally exhausted. The caring and love in each stitch of these treasures helped me through the last hard weeks of radiation, but more than that they serve as a constant reminder of my wonderful friends. I feel so blessed!

Hello Judith
which for marvelous covers you show here.
wonderful work was made at both, and quilted pleases me also much. I worked also for a children's home in Russia quilts, which Childhood Foundationstiftung has her handed over.
A beautiful thing to help in this kind.

Many greetings from Ulla
These are simply beautiful! Thanks for popping over to my blog darlin, and your lovely comments. I didn't know you have dealt with the "dragon". I have had it three times and for some reason, I'm still here. God Bless you hon, and pray that 2008 is a good year for you with no problems.
Judy, these quilts are beautiful and I know they bring you comfort. I know I have received two comfort quilts myself, both in loving comfort for the lose of my Dad.
These two of yours are a true treasure and I know when you see them you feel the love that radiates from them.
