Two quilts delivered

Last Wed. I shipped off two quilts... a lap quilt

along with a couple of pocket prayers and a couple of key fobs and matching masks to an elderly woman and her adult daughter in Indiana.  I met them at a Booth Brothers concert and have seen them at just about every other BB concert we've attended since.  When I started making this lap quilt, I knew that it should go to Phyllis, who I've found out is not doing well and long term care is being applied for.  It's really hard on her daughter - I don't know if she's the only child of Phyllis' but the two are very close. 
I had intended on surprising Phyllis with the quilt at the BB concert in April, but that didn't happen because of everything being shut down due to Covid-19.  So, last week, I got a hold of her daughter on Facebook and got their address and told her I was sending a package for her mom ( didn't tell her until it was on it's way that there was also something in there for her). 
I sent the package via FedEx, my new favorite way to ship packages and it arrived there the next day... I was impressed!  Didn't even have to pay extra for priority or anything.
The two key fobs, a smaller pocket prayer and the mask(s? - can't remember if I sent one or two) were in a ziplock baggie marked for the daughter.
I got a message that evening that she (the daughter) just loved everything and that purple is her favorite color.  I don't think Phyllis has been able to receive the lap quilt just yet because of the Covid-19 and that, I believe, she's still in some sort of care center, but her daughter did say that she would get it to her.


The second package arrived in Minnesota on Friday afternoon.... here's the pic from when it was finished.


This went to what would have been the older sister of the twins that my grandson's now former girlfriend miscarried this past Spring.  I had already decided on this quilt for the girl - had her name on the label, so it was going to her whether her mom and my grandson were still together or not.

In the box along with the quilt was a story book about a bunny, a little stuffed bunny that I bought from Wal-mart and a little quilt I made for the bunny.
Here's the 'stamp of approval'... she loves it all - and isn't that why we make quilts - for someone to love?

I haven't done any sewing since the day I made the block for the sew-a-long -- keep saying that I'm going to but other things seem to 'get in my way'... grocery shopping, car in shop ( waited with baited breath on that one because they started talking about new front brakes, too.... thankfully, they weren't needed), kitchen needed attention, much needed naps, etc etc.  MAYBE today.

take care...
