My heart is broken.
I cried and cried some more. I talked to friends and hugged my family. And finally, yesterday, I went back to what always gets me through hard times. I fired up my sewing machine and started a new quilt.
I've been wanting to make a quilt for my step-father for years now. I've started several, but never finished one. Yesterday, I started another one. Here's hoping I stick with this one and get it to him sooner, rather than later. He's one of those people I don't see nearly enough, don't tell that I love him nearly enough. I want him to have a quilt from me so he knows I love him even when I'm not there to say it.
I'm linking up with Oh Scrap and Monday Making.

So sorry for the loss of your friend. Quilting is definitely great therapy, it sure has been for me.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. I hope you find some comfort in time with your family and your quilts.
quilting helps me through the tough times too - the quilt will be wonderful.
Sorry about your friend, but I'm glad she got the quilt and knew that you cared enough to make it for her. Yes, make a quilt for your step father.
Quilting is our way of sharing our love and binding those we love with our fabric gift. It's never easy losing a dear friend. Hugs.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Losing someone dear to us has got to be one of the toughest things to endure.
You’re off to a beautiful start on the quilt for your stepdad.
Oh I am so glad she had the chance to snuggle with your quilt and talk to you - hugs to you!!
