A Special Lapquilt for My Dearest Friend, Weezie

Weezie’s feet get cold in the evenings due to her RA, so I thought it was time for a new lapquilt to cover them. The top is of wonderfully soft cotton from our local quilting shop, and the back is of the softest flannel you have ever felt. I followed the lines of the pattern and machine quilted it. I did not want the back to be blank so came up with the idea of blanket stitching tulips and hearts to it in addition to the signature square. Here are the results. To be 72 and still talk daily to my best friend some 300 miles away is a dream come true. My kind principal allows me to call her each day at 1:00. This way we each know the other is OK.
