In Memory of Louise Casey

(click photo to see a larger version)

One of our members, May Sisk of New Jersey, wrote "this Heartstring top was made in memory of my sister Louise who passed away 2 weeks ago. Making the this quilt top was good therapy during the past few weeks."

May mailed the top to me for quilting and it will be sent back to her to donate in her sister's memory. Can you see the quilted hearts? Appropriately enough this pantograph by Jodi Beamish is called Heartstrings.

Keeping busy, doing something constructive is great therapy... and that turned out great. :)

Oh, Mary, Thank you so much for quilting Louise's top for me. Looking at it and your kind words brought tears to my eyes. I know whoever receives this quilt will know that lots of love from me and the HeartStrings quilters comes with it. So many thanks, May
