For Rachel

here is my second finish of the year.  It's a quilt I actually started last year but finished this year.  My sister has cancer and is going through chemo and I wanted to do something for her.  The back is ballet slippers because she (and I) used to take ballet lessons when we were young and she loves dance.  I hope she likes it and that it reminds her that I am thinking of her and praying for her.

I am so sorry about your sister. I know that quilt will comfort her every time she uses it or looks at it. It is lovely.

You know she will love it, and all the prayers and love that come with it. The ballet slipper background is such a thoughtful touch. I'm sending a prayer along, too ~
hugs, pokey
