Customer made this one for Lung Trasnplant unit....


Recommended Posts

Actually it was 2 customers. Judy had a lung transplant herself in January and Gail's husband had a lung transplant a few years ago. Judy started this quilt for a fund raiser at the U of A Hospital. Judy was feeling very stressed about getting it done so Gail helped her. Judy ended up in the hospital with a infection related to her transplant and to Gail finished it. The fund raiser is this Friday, my 1st day back to work after 3 weeks away was Monday, so this was 1st up. I needed to get it done that day so they could get binding on it. I would have liked to do the whole quilt custom, but did not have time. So I did custom on the appliqued flowers and did a large stipple on the rest. I am calling it "stippling with a special touch!" I like the effect and will use this idea again....

Oh, and by the way Judy got out of the hospital the same day I quilted the quilt... :)

Really nice quilt! After nearly three weeks of the crud, I'm almost feeling as though I need a lung transplant. Actually, I think the lungs are okay, but I think I finally cracked a rib from the coughing. Hope to get back to quilting soon!

very effective. i like this option to keep costs down for my clients that cannot afford full custom. great idea.

BTW - my sister had a double lung transplant 7 yrs ago. Other than a few rough spots that first year all has been well. Getting through that first year can be difficult but well worth it. I'll keep her in my prayers.
