Jennifer has been avoiding me like the plague lately. She always had excuses why she couldn't come for lunch, etc. "I'm busy, I'm working on a big project", and on and on. Well, on Monday I found out what the "big project" was. The sewing machine that we gave her about three years ago has come out of the box and she made me a "chemo quilt". She took quilt scraps from my Mom's fabric boxes and put them together. She did picture transfers of all the family and put them in some of the squares. She even had my favorite scripture monogramed for the center. Never have I been so surprised or pleased!! Jennifer has never even sewn on a button.
She wanted me to be warm when I was taking chemo--the room is usually cold and I had mentioned that. Now I have a wonderful blanket with all my family on it to surround me while I'm getting my drips.
Thank you, Jennifer, for every stitch and every piece of love in that blanket. I love you.
