Jody's Hug Quilt Update -- Quilt finished and being shipped
Hi All..
Well I finally finished the quilt today... I want to thank you all again for making this possible. I put all those who contributed in the label, I hope you don't mind.. and hope to GOD that I didn't forget anyone.. if I did please please please forgive me!!! All that is left to do is sign the big block in the middle, wrap it up and send it off.. http://michelle.absolutad.com/quilts/hug.htm I'm slightly worried about the binding... it seems the tension was not that great when I did it but I didn't notice until after it was all done.. even though I checked every once in a while.. I used a decorative stitch and every once in a while I can see that a stitch point is missing... and the ones around it are more loose.. if it starts to come out then i'll do something about it.. but I really don't want to rip it all apart.. and I used heat bind tape on it also so it really shouldn't come out at all.... *cross fingers* My brother is a little uncomfortable taking pictures of her at this time but I asked him to please put a hat on her and take a picture of her getting it later this week when he brings it to her. So we'll see... As for Jody, ... she hasn't really gotten any better these past few weeks.. still can not move her left side... very confused... mixing up dreams and reality... but we're still optimistic that the months to come will bring healing and that she'll be back to her old self soon.... Again thank you so much for helping me give her this hug... -- Michelle in NJ ------------------------------------------- http://michelle.absolutad.com/quilts/ |

Now, now, Michelle, I see *exhausted* in your post. Of course, you are.
The quilt is wonderful and will give Jody lots of love and hugs. And yes, if the @#$! decorative stitch comes loose or out, you can fix it. We've been doing hug quilts a long time and I have yet to hear any one excited because their quilt was perfect. Nope. Not one. They only see and feel the love. You've done a beautiful job putting it all together. Now just run your hands over it and feel the love. It's loaded. Thank you for letting all of us see this precious meeting of hearts and warm wishes, Polly "Michelle in NJ" wrote in message ... Hi All.. Well I finally finished the quilt today...

What counts is the love and care that have gone into what you've made for her. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |
