Sometime in June 2009

I could not stop crying. My chest, my heart, hurt like it had never hurt before. Stella continued to hug me, to love me, to be there for me. She wanted me to make a quilt, she said to start with a "practice quilt". Stel picked out several fabrics from her vast inventory, each piece had patterns with hearts. Stel said this will be your "Healing Hearts Quilt" to help you mend your broken heart. As the pieces started to come together I could feel the importance of this "Healing Hearts Quilt" and the love in the sewing room as my sister and I talked while working on quilts. When my quilt was done I carried it around everywhere in the house, wrapping it around me so I could feel the love and support that went into the fabric selection and naming of the quilt. I love Stella.
