Comfort Quilt

My sweet friend and counselor has breast cancer.  We made this comfort quilt for her in three days--Lori and   I picked out fabric, Lori cut and printed the scriptures, I arranged and sewed it together, Janice stippled and bound it.  We love how it turned out.  Janice, called it "delicious."  I need to blog it so I have record of it.  Now we all want one!


The backing was that "minky" fabric.  Soo soft!

We all chose two scriptures to comfort her through her treatments and recovery when we couldn't be there.

Love these colors.  We chose them to match her room, then realized they'd go in most of our homes, too!  

Here it is all stretched out.  It was a really fun gift to give!  Wish I'd thought of it before when some of my family members were going through their own cancer trials.  We love you Stacy!

Julie that is so beautiful! Darn it, I know of too many women that are fighting breast cancer, I don't like it one bit. Stacy will be in my prayers!

Loved the quilt. What a thoughtful gift. It always seems cold when one is going through chemo. With all the scriptures and love intertwined, it would be wonderful to take. What a keepsake. I hope she is making it!
