Darlene's Quilt

Roscoe's Pa has a good friend who he worked with whose family is riddled with cancer...different kinds of cancer...but particularly serious varieties.  His friend has spent her life trying to defy the odds by getting routine check ups, eating right, exercising, and generally staying in top shape.  We were so upset when we learned she had breast cancer.  The only thing I could think to do besides obviously praying for her was to make a quilt for her to wrap herself up in when the illness was just too much and she needed a hug.  I used a familiar pattern that you've seen me post before but in colors of dresses that Pa noticed her wearing to work.  She loved the quilt, responded to the treatment, and has remained cancer free now for a couple of years.  This is her quilt:

Quilts are a daily reminder of the love and support of friends. I'm glad you could help her.
