Me and My Sister

Last August my beautiful sister was diagnosed with Breast Cancer; now that she has completed her treatment and gotten the all clear, I thought I would show the quilt I made for her. I wanted something fun and happy, to see her through all the rough days, we live 600 miles apart and don't see each other very often.
I bought a Jelly Roll of 'Dilly Dimple' by Me and My Sister, and chose a quick 'Hugs & Kisses' pattern, Ice cream for the back and I was really pleased how it turned out; it is a fun quilt and even the fabric name made me smile :D I machine quilted it with variegated thread, the quilting could be a lot better, and normally I prefer to hand quilt, but I wanted to have this done quickly to take to her before she went into hospital.  She loved it, and it did cheer her up, we laughed through a lot of the tough times.

    that is a cute quilt. I'm so glad that she has gotten the all clear - I'm afraid with my family history and having 3 sisters one or more of us will go through this as well one day.

    Wonderful news on your sister, and that quilt is one of the happiest I've seen in a long time. I'm sure the love in it kept her warm during treatment.

    Great news on your beautiful sister. I'm sure she shed lots of tears in to that comforter you made her, and it carried her through many rough times, just hugging it would have made you there. Cheers Glenda
