Quilting Heidi Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Dell you are doing a wonderful thing. You think of this as being a old problem that doesn't really happen any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srichardson Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 How very sad. I wonder what percentage of these deaths are due to not having access to reliable medical care. You have done a wonderful job quilting the block. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 It looks great. What a good project. I was totally unaware and didn't know what a doula was. I had to look it up in Wikipedia! Thanks for raising my awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachside Quilter Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 The blocks are all lovely, Dell. What a challenge you have to quilt around all the embellishments. Your threads and fills are wonderful. Great job for a very caring memoriam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
