My heart quilt made it to my friend last Saturday. She called me on Sunday to tell me how much she loved it, and how much she loved me. She died on Wednesday morning.
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.
