In Memory of The Quilt Lady


Hello,

My friend Richard lost his sister recently. He had traveled to stay with her family to help care for her during her last weeks - taking the night shift of 6:00 pm - 9:00 am. Richard is in his 70's and has health issues so he went back home on a weekend to gain some rest so he could return again to be with her and she died early the next morning after he had returned home. In his e-mail to let us know of her passing he wrote GOD SPEED QUILT LADY. WE LOVE YOU. I made this card for Richard in memory of his sister Dorothy. 




Thank you for stopping by today to visit my blog. Wishing you everything good this weekend!
