Natalia To The Rescue

 

A month ago,

a tragic car accident took the lives

of three young adults

from or near my community.

Among the survivors

is a very special young lady.

 

She is broken and battered,
but extremely lucky to be alive.

She has a very long recovery period

ahead of her. 
She'll be in the hospital for months.

 

As a quilter, my first reaction was,

"I've got to make her a quilt!."

 

I had the perfect flimsy already pieced.

But how do I finish it yesterday?

I put out feelers all through Nova Scotia

and Cape Breton.

No one up here seems to do
custom FMQ.
 

And then an angel,
disguised as 

Natalia Bonner at Piece N Quilt,
came to my rescue.

Outdoor photo opportunities are not possible today,
and space is limited indoors.  Oh, well.  You get the picture!

 

I wrote to Natalia and told her my tale.

 

She said, "Send it to me!!  I'll squeeze you in!"

 

 

 

It took a week to travel to Utah.

 

 

 

And a week to make it's return trip to Nova Scotia.

 

 

 

It probably took me longer to attach the binding and label

than it did for Natalia to quilt it.

 

 

 

But now it's ready to go down to the hospital

in Halifax with her twin tonight!!

 

 

 

Thank you, Natalia,

from the bottom of my heart,
for casting your magic touch
upon this very special quilt!
I'm over-the-moon!!

 

Have a funderful day.
