Two quilts to be planned.

Two weeks ago, I was contacted by someone I didn't know, via email, regarding making a quilt for her. She explained that her husband had passed away on May 16th and a friend had suggested that she have his dress shirts made into a quilt. My heart broke when I read her email. She also mentioned a 6 year old daughter.

We emailed back and forth and decided on two quilts, one for her and one for her daughter. She had a size in mind 60" square, each. I gave her a price, one third less than usual; I really didn't know what to charge since she's supplying the shirt fabric. Today the box came, from Chicago.

I opened it up and took some photos, I was very happy with the mix of patterns and colors. (When Bob was working detectives all his shirts were very neutral, white, blue, gray, tan, etc., not very interesting for a quilt.)

I have a couple of stitching projects I want to take care of before starting this project. I think that will give me some time to come up with a plan for the quilts.

This was printed on the outside of the box. Heart is aching, again.

May your bobbins always be full,
