A family member was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago.  She is doing well and following the doctor’s orders.  I wanted to make her a simple quilt with just a whole lot of love so I made a very easy patchwork quilt with only two fabrics.  The unexpected is that I put little pockets in the four corners of the quilt.  Then I asked for other family members to write something about love, healing, strength or upbeat to index cards.  When the quilt was opened and held up, everyone came forth with their little love cards and placed them in the pockets.

How special it will be when the recipient gets home and relaxes with her quilt while she reads all the love from everyone.  Well done family, well done.
