The contrast of the soft quilt and the harsh reality cuts right through you. No wonder it has been so hard to work on! I hope it has been and will continue to be healing.

You have done a wonderful thing that will empower you and your future generations of family and friends.<br /><br />I've had the occasion to drive through your area four times in three years, the last time being in late June 2013 so I have not yet seen the devastation of your area. Hopefully as new growth happens healing will follow and help ease the pain of the devastation.<br /><br />Just think what an impact it will be at your quilt show. Be thankful that your family survived this experience and can share this with other people who experience this type of tragedy.

This is such a marvelous quilt, not just for its visual impact, but its emotional one as well. Anyone who has lived through a fire will be touched immediately. And the rest of us can only hope that this quilt will help in the healing process. My husband's birthday is the anniversary of the fire. I will be thinking of you on Friday as you begin a new year.
