A quilt for a colleague

I belong to a group of 40 women professionals. One of our long-time members is going through her second round of chemotherapy plus divorce. The group suggested sending her a card, but I said, "It's time this woman got a quilt!" Two volunteers with "junior high sewing skills" stepped up to help, one sent a beautiful embroidered piece, and the group gave us a budget of $50.

I asked the quilt recipient what colors she would like. "Earthy, grassy green with touches of purple and gold." Yikes! Just the colors I DON'T have. Thank goodness the Rebels came to the rescue. Look at all these beautiful fabrics they donated!!

Alexis suggested the volunteers and I make a simple rail fence pattern. Wa-la! All done in a day.



And look what Goodwill provided--the whole back for only $4!

Everyone in the professional group will sign the quilt with good wishes, and I'm sure this colleague will be very pleased. Thank you Rebels!!!
