Comfort Quilt

A while back, I mentioned a top secret project I was doing. I couldn't give any details because it was part of a gift. Now that the gift has been given, I'm free to share.

 These are the blocks I made to contribute toward Regina's (a.k.a. 1I's) comfort quilt. Moneik, Jen and Regina have been friends for a few years and, as I understand it, their group of quilty friends have had cause to make comfort quilts for most of the ladies in that group. They are wonderful ladies and I felt honored to be asked to contribute.

I met Regina back in March on retreat. She is a neat woman who knows how to laugh with...and at...you. Well, to be fair, she's pretty good about laughing at herself, too! Though I hardly know her, she made quite the impression over the course of that weekend. I'm hoping that our friendship grows and that I will continue to cross paths with her for years to come.

Here is a picture of the completed quilt. We all sent our blocks to Moneik. She then put the top together, added borders/backing, quilted it and sent it off in a care package to Regina.

 
Regina was so excited when she received it. I wish I could have been there to give a hug to go with the quilt. Still, it was clear that Regina knew she was being held in love and prayer. Being part of a community is a powerful thing. I'm blessed to know these women.
