Feedback on a quilt I made. Sign In/Join

My daughter is a senior in high school but is also taking classes at our local community college. She has had the same prof for Comp I and Comp II. He told them about his two year old son, Eli, who has leukemia so I did what we do and made him a quilt! Eli has an older sister so I made her a pillow case. My daughter showed me pictures of the children enjoying their gifts. The prof said that Eli spread the quilt out on the floor and started to leave the room. They asked where he was going and he said, "To get a pillow!" He told them the quilt was "cozy." They have no idea where he heard that word! Emmy liked her pillow case, too. Just made my day!

That was a very nice thing you did for Eli. The quilt is so bright & colorful & I know he will love it for years & years to come. It was so sweet that you thought of his sister also.

How sweet. It was such a nice thing you did and the colors in that quilt couldn't be more perfect for a sick child - bright, cheerful and happy. I hope the little guy does well with his treatments.

I love everything about this story (except the reason for the need of a comforting quilt) - first, that you made a quilt for him and a pillowcase for big sis, but also for his reaction.

What you did was wonderful! Sweet thoughts and actions! Isn't it great how one thing can make so many people happy? Group Hug to you!
Wishing Eli well!
