Shirley Sawyer, the recipient of Quilt #4 passed away last week. She was a remarkable giving woman. It would be interesting to try to calculate all the items she created and donated. She was still working on baby hats until the last. I talked to her daughter a couple days ago and she told me that her mother instructed her to find someone else going through a difficult time and re-gift Quilt #4. Mary went to retrieve the quilt from her parents home. She explained to her father what her mother wanted. He understood but said it was fine but "just not yet." I was so grateful to have such a rich gospel discussion with Shirley the week before she passed and just as happy that her husband is finding some comfort have the quilt in their home for awhile longer.
