A Picture Says a Thousand Words

Yesterday,

I had the opportunity

to receive a lot of feedback from

the comfort quilts I make and gift others

in my community.

 

It warmed my heart.

 

But sometimes,

a picture (or three) says a thousand words.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My broken young friend

is doing very well.

 

Just the other day, she had all pins, screws, and the brace

holding her spine, hips, and pelvis together

removed,

and walked, with aid, for the first time

in over a month.

 

 

 

Although she faces grueling and intensive PT now,

she's young, strong, and determined.

Her boyfriend of 3 years did not survive the accident,

but I know he is watching over her

and her memories of the love they shared

will guide her through

the next few months of her recovery.

 

For me,

this is what making quilts

is all about.

 

Again, many thanks to Natalia

of Piece N Quilt

for casting her magic spell

over this quilt

and making this possible for me.
