It is finsihed

This afternoon I sewed the last stitch in my heart of hope quillow it is finished and I am so so happy with it. It certainly has been a healing experience as I sewed I read the hearts and remembered each of the people who sent them. For those who don't know I belong to two Internet quilting groups and when my sister died earlier this year they sent me hearts. This is a practice that the groups do they applique a heart to an square of cream fabric and they write a message on it. Sending it to anyone who is sufferring.Such a wonderful experience to be a recipient of these hearts. For the last month I have been working on sewing the hearts together and today I finished my quillow. ..... I received 120 hearts in total.

I will take my quillow along to my Craft group tomorrow they have asked about it's progress since seeing the hearts and they want to see the finished quillow. It is our open day tomorrow to raise funds for the local hospital so will display it for all to see.
As well as the quillow and the cushion for the quillow I had enough hearts for four cushions one for each of my three sisters and one for my mum. Margie's is the largest as some of the special people sent hearts for her also. The rectangle one is for Louise. The orange one for my youngest sister and the blue one for mum. They don't know about them so will be a surprise in the post for them soon.
I am so so happy with the finished result.
