I haven't posted for a while because it has been such a busy month around here. I am sewing furiously trying to get my nephew's quilt done before this Friday. I am now doing the hand sewing on the binding. I have a busy week ahead and four days with my little granddaughter. Will I get it the nephew's quilt done? Stay tuned!
In the meantime, I'll show you another quilt from my past. This is Carmen's quilt. She is a really good friend of Daughter #1. Carmen works a full-time job, is the mom of two cute little guys, and a marathon runner. She had a nagging knee pain and she persisted with the doctors for relief. It turned out to be bone cancer. She is currently approaching 10 months of 'cancer free' status. Anyway, isn't our quilting obsession a great way to extend our support to someone who is facing a tough time? It's a relief to be able to do something small to perhaps bring some love and comfort to someone.
Yes it is a variation of same pattern that I have used over and over again. It's definitely time to branch out to other designs. But I love the simple block and playing with the fabrics and colors. I used Lakehouse fabric for this quilt.

I like the stripe in there for a little zip!
A quilt does seem like such a small thing when someone has dealt with the harshness of cancer. However, I know this "small" thing made a very big impact on the person receiving this wonderful gift of love.
