Sister Hugs

 My sister Mary is going to be heading to Chemo treatments soon. She lives in SC away from her sisters all here in IL.

I had heard from my neighbor that some people get cold during chemo treatments so I knew I had to get a quilt made and sent to her right away.

I've been making quite a few quilts lately. I needed something to do during this stay at home stuff and quilting relaxes me.

 I really get fired up when I have a reason for my quilting. Making one for Mary was emotional for me. I bought my longarm machine with Mom's money. I thank her and talk with her and tell her how much fun I'm having, every time I use it. Doing this quilt I not only thought of Mom but all of my sisters and how close we all were growing up. It only made sense that they be a part of this too.

I sent a group text to Vicki, Deanna, Linda and Sharen and told them my idea and they ALL wanted to do it with me. I hurry and finished the quilt and invited the sisters over so I could take a picture of each of them hugging the quilt and filling it up with love for Mary.

I asked them to write something to Mary. Something that she can read to help her get thru this. So she's knows that even though she is physically far away she is right here in our hearts, our thoughts and in our prayers. I want her to wrap herself up in this quilt and feel our love.

Well mission accomplished, I got a heartful thank You text from Mary - she was too emotional to try and talk, which I totally understand. She feels us. She promised to take the quilt and our cards and letters with her. 

Mary, I know you read this blog and probably are trying real hard not to cry again - Sorry I had to tell this story. I cried writing it.

We are family - I got all my sisters in me!!!
