I owe a huge thanks to everyone who sent notes of encouragement while I was under the weather. With all the well-wishes and warm fuzzies, I can't help but feel better! I really enjoyed reading some of your own stories about "sick" or "healing" quilts, and thought I'd share a few comfort quilt stories with you.
"One of my jobs was to supply my aunt with flannel pajamas. After her death, I made her eight pairs of pajamas into quilts, pillows and a blanket. Whenever I need comfort, I wrap myself in Aunt Pat's quilt, and somehow I do feel better. Thanks for bringing back this warm memory."
"I always feel better by daydreaming new ideas of things to make. I guess it takes my mind off whatever is ailing me, and releases endorphins."
"When I'm not feeling well, I want the big ole wool quilt to curl up under. It is not just the warmth that is healing, it is the love that went into creating it."
