During the Easton Quilt-a-thon, 2 people brought in a quilt donation. Their friend Jean, had been the recipient of a Power of the Quilt Project Comfort Quilt while she was undergoing cancer treatment at Brockton Hospital. Jean asked her 2 quilting friends to make a quilt to return the gesture to another recipient. Here is the lovely quilt that was made in tribute to Jean, a 9 patch, with 4 of the patches done in embroidery to detail the life of Jean.
All the quilt-a-thon participants paused their work to listen to the story of Jean and the marvelous quilt that was donated in her memory.
The closeup shows a basket of yarn and knitting needles, as Jean loved to knit.
Jean's two quilting friends didn't realize that they could attend a quilt-a-thon and help make additional quilts for Brockton cancer treatment patients. We hope to see them at an upcoming quilt-a-thon.
In addition to the quilt that was donated, there was a donation of fabric. So not only do the recipients appreciate the quilts, but their friends and family also appreciate the kind contribution.
