Yesterday, a good friend learned that she has inoperable pancreatic cancer. I moved away two years ago, so I can't be there with her in person. My mind and heart are reeling. So, I'm doing what I always do when I need to re-center myself - I'm making her a quilt.
I'm starting with the little pixelated heart I made several years ago from 2" squares.
I wanted to echo that heart to make the quilt lap-sized.
It will be full speed ahead for the next couple of weeks as I rush to finish this and get it to her. Everything else is on hold. Including my breath. I'm so scared for her that I am finding it hard to breathe.
Fuck cancer.

How beautiful, from something so horrible.
All your quilts this summer are wonderful. This one more so.
What an amazing idea and will truly be a soothing experience for you. Any time I am in wait or have something heavy on my heart, sewing a quilt for the person is my therapy. Prayers for your friend.
Sorry about your friends cancer, but I know that the quilt will be a comfort to her.
Loove this
