Happy Healing Quilt


I hope this quilt can provide comfort, warmth and cheerfulness to its owner. An old neighbourhood friend of mine had a cerebral arteriovenous malformation which resulted in him having a stroke about a month ago.  He is only 23 years old. It is difficult to know what to say or how to help in a situation like this but I knew right away I wanted to sew him something.

He is currently at rehab and I know he has a long journey ahead of him. I also know that most healthcare facilities are not the most comforting and welcoming environments. I hope that this quilt will make his stay at rehab more comfortable and homey. I am also thinking of the day that he will get to bring it home  as a memory of how much strength, resiliency and perseverance he demonstrated during the healing process.
