Quiltcitement!

I got to work on a lovely quilt project recently. Twenty-five friends worked on squares for the quilt to give to our dear friend Camile, who has just checked into the hospital for a month-long stay to get a bone-marrow transplant. She finally opened the package yesterday. I have been on the edge of my seat for weeks in anticipation. There is nothing more rewarding than quilting a project made with so much love. Here are the pictures of the completed quilt and the little booklet that we made to go with it. Every person got their own spread with a picture of their square and a little note. My favorite part of this craftventure was seeing the amazing work of people who do not ever craft--they just rose to the occasion and did so with stunning results. I also enjoyed hearing two grown men argue over whether they had made a square for a "quilt" or a "blanket."

"But, you see, it is a quilted blanket."

Mine was the mini-robot square, of course.

Tillie's was a book, because she and Camile like to read together.
