This quilt was finished with machine stitched binding, and a cute label with hats on it because it reminded me of Carla. I added that it was the most fun quilt she ever made and that it was a pleasure for me to finish it for her family.
Her daughter picked it up today before the party her friends planned as a memorial. The quilt was to be displayed there along with some of her other quilts and painted projects. She was very artistic, and a wonderful lady. I know she will be very much missed, but the beauty she created will live on. I think that's partly why many of us love to create. So that we will leave something behind for our loved ones to remember, a legacy so we aren't quickly forgotten. I'm glad I can leave something tangible behind for my loved ones, to comfort and cheer them.
And that I can watch my friends and family enjoy the work of my hands now is also a sweet thing! Definitely something to be cherished and enjoyed. I hope you enjoy creating something special this week - have fun and make something joyful!
