Thank you so much, Jocelyn. The blocks were ‘orphan blocks’ and seemed to go together well to my eye – thanks for the confirmation! As you are a seasoned sewer, your comment makes my day.

Hi Laura, how kind and generous to make a quilt for such a good cause. I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated. Pretty blocks too.

In reply to zippyquilts. HA! That from a gal who's handle is Zippy! But seriously, point well taken!

Good for you! A good quilt is a done quilt, whether fast or slow. Just sayin!

In reply to cedar51. You are a prime example of how 'slow is good' is good! Thanks for the encouragement, Catherine.

there are quite a number of organisations here, who “Just create” for community – be it community or disasters – and when they are needed there is always a supply ready to go.

I too am slow – and it seems of late – getting even slower. But in a way it doesn’t matter as I will finally get there, even if a projects goes into “time out” and it “surfaces” sometime later…

Your quilt will be welcomed for sure, maybe not for that reason but for a need some place else…

In reply to Marie A Bailey. Hey there, fellow slow stitcher! I'm really not much of a Marathon minded type, either. ;-)

What a beautiful quilt! I’m so glad you went ahead and made it, giving in to your heart. Perhaps your heart knew instinctively that your efforts would be rewarded. This is such a moving story. I’m imagining that whoever receives your quilt will wrap themselves up in it and be comforted by the love and prayers held by every stitch.

And I’m happy to know another slow stitcher. I too am liable to make (more) mistakes when I hurry a project. Slow and steady is the key. Marathon knitting is only successful if there’s no pattern in the piece, just plain stockinette 😉

In reply to Christie Hawkes.

Nice to ‘meet’ you, too, Christie. Thanks for the quilt-kudos! Your quilter neighbor could no doubt direct you to any local quilt guilds that would love to take you under their wings as a fledgling newbie quilter whenever you feel the time’s right to begin that adventure. Meanwhile – enjoy the change in seasons!

What a beautiful gift, Laura. I’ve never been a stitcher…slow or otherwise…but reading your post made me want to give it a try. I have a neighbor that makes lovely quilts and gave us one as a gift. Every time I look at that quilt, I think about the time and love that went into it. I found your blog through a comment you left on Janis’s Retirementally Challenged. It’s nice to “meet” you.
