A quilt


This deserved a post all on its own.


My dear, wonderful, lovely best friend from childhood (next door neighbor since I was 5) made me a quilt. I vaguely remember mailing some of HeeJun's shirts to her with a "could you try to make something with these?" request.


She delivered the quilt to me the day of her baby shower. It was a day to celebrate her and her baby, but she walked home from the shower with me and gave me the quilt. My Sarah is pretty fantastic, huh? I can not express how much it means. I was already pretty emotional from the shower and seeing some old friends, but when I saw that quilt, that t-shirt, that pocket, i couldn't hold back the tears. thank goodness for comedy. we took silly pictures with it as a cape!


So, now i will have two uniquely different "capes". One from a friend who knows me best, one from a friend who knows this pain best.

That is such a wonderful way to remember HeeJ. And, it is even more special knowing that it was created by loving friends.
I know you will feel warm and loved every time you cuddled in it. :)
Hugs,
Britt

Thats an awesome quilt. She did a great job. Now you'll have to keep the pups away from it (and the other one!)
