A little while back, Quiltdiva Julie sent me some tops to finish as comfort quilts. As soon as one gets finished, a request comes in.

A great combo

This past weekend was no exception. I finished Blithe, a man from my cardiac rehab group, who had a heart transplant 12 years ago, received a kidney last week at the Cleveland Clinic. They let him come home to Buffalo for the weekend, and then he had to go back on Monday.
I had just finished quilting Blithe and binding it. I quickly scrambled to make a bag, card and wash the quilt so I could deliver it to him Saturday morning. I had to move so quick that I did not get get a shot of the bag with quilt block pocket or the quilt package. I thought I had, but no. It has been a crazy two weeks because we got a new roof and they were here for 2 weeks hammering, etc. and flattening my garden. I also had a tooth pulled that was just filled and it got infected, so I have been barely under the radar.
I quilted it in the same pattern on the solid blues,
but a different pattern in each row of light values. Julie provided the
wonderful back.
Ron certainly looked terrible when I dropped the quilt
off and I am praying the kidney will kick in and do what we mostly take
for granted every day.
Thanks to Julie, I was ready for this call.
And I realized after unloading a lot of photos, that I had a huge smear
on the lens which is why the photos look odd in the lower right.
