I came across this one from Jan 2010. I was thrilled to see the memoir from Abigail Thomas--a book I had read some years ago whose title I had forgotten, though not the emotional story. <br />Recently, a friend's husband was critically injured in a boating accident, and she has become his 24/7 caregiver. She is so courageous that I knew that she would relate to Thomas's story. I wanted to get the book for her, but after extensive searches I couldn't find the title of that book. Thanks to your blog, I recognized the story and was able to order the book from Amazon. I am so very grateful for this serendipitous detour from my favorite topic, quilting. Your blog is a delightful place to visit--full of quilty inspiration and thought-provoking as well. I do have to recommend my favorite dog story, The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.

I'm making doll beds for 2 dollies for Christmas and they'll both probably have 30's style quilts on them. Yes, I love made by presents, and so does most of my family. My nephew (34) has an ET cross stitch pillow I made when he was 9 or so, it still has a place in his home. His wife said she asked why they were keeping it, and he said his aunt made it.
