Starting a new quilt

[sewlucky]

I spent a lot of time this past weekend not sewing just thinking about it and the projects for my nieces and nephews I want to finish for Christmas. Last night I couldn't get a dear friend and her husband out of my mind, he has been in hospital in the cardiac care unit with heart complications from a bacterial blood infection. All night while watching tv with my hubby I couldn't stop thinking that my friend needed a quilt and I was browsing around looking at patterns. This morning I woke up and checked facebook like I always do. I was devastated to read that my friend's husband died late last night/early this morning. I did not get a chance to meet my friend's husband, but I have worked closely with her as a volunteer for a national organization, often long distance but we've met in person several times.

I got everything cut today for this quilt Quilty Magazine that I will make for my friend and her two children, 13 yr old twins. They live across the country, it's the best hugs that I can give them.
