Not my favorite, but a friend loved it!

last month

I made this top from scraps and a friend saw it unfinished and loved it. It did not have a home until Lori saw it, so I finished it and gave it to her yesterday. She was so surprised and said she felt guilty for going on and on about it. Said she wasn't angling for a quilt, but was thrilled it ended up at her house! Don't you love it when that happens? It's 60 x 72, so a good sofa size for her.

Such a pretty combination of colors. No wonder she loved it.

My friend's favorite Tree & Bush in her yard
Q
Comments (5)
The tree is a cherry, I think, but it's not a Black Cherry. Possibly a Pin Cherry (also called Fire Cherry), Prunus pennsylvanica. I'm not personnally familiar with Pin Cherries but my book says the young bark is shiny red... But I suspect it's one of the ornamental cherries that doesn't get fruit at all; just planted for the flowers. The bush is a non-native honeysuckle; maybe Lonicera tatarica or L morrowii (aka Tatarian Honeysuckle or Morrow Honeysuckle). They're pretty invasive down here in NJ; I don't know about Maine. On the other hand they're tough as nails and have nice flowers and decorative fruit, which the birds like. Probably leaving one in your yard won't upset the balance of nature too much. I wouldn't cut it down until the birds leave, anyway. WW

In loving memory of my garden friend

What a beautiful cat! I'm sure you have many happy memories of him and lots of pics too. I don't think I've had any cats live to be 15. I have 10 myself and one that is currently missing. I hope she comes home but she just drops in once or twice a wk usually and we haven't seen her in the last wk. One of the others is feral. I love my flowers and plants and I love my cats! I wouldn't know what to do w/o my kitties to keep me company! Our kitty friends are members of the family. I wish you the best in this difficult time. Brandy

Asking my GW friends for prayers for a IRL friend....
Q

I say prayers for everyone in that situation whenever I am reminded of them. Like I said, I was only at the blood center and the families and friends all touched my life. It was scary at times, especially when he had a fungal infection that was not responding to antibiotics. His flesh was coming off and they didn't know what it was until the culture came back. Once they got the right stuff treating it, everything turned around. That was the infection that delayed his transplant, but as I said, he is nearly ready to return home now and was able to drive out for the day on Thanksgiving. It was great. I wish I could be there in person so you could see and feel the hope. I'll send all I can by angel wings.

Isn't it fun when a quilt you don't love is someone else's favorite. Your friend must have been so delighted with your generous gift. And you know that quilt will be cherished.
