I don't know about you, but when I'm making something for someone I tend to think about them a lot while I'm doing it. It's part of what I love about receiving handmade goodies made especially for me. I imagine the maker has thought about me a lot whilst creating something just for me.

It's now been 5 months since my dad died, and I've set about working on this quilt again, made from his shirts. I started it about 3 months ago, but I needed to take a break from all that thinking.

I hope to have it ready for hand quilting in the next couple of days. Then I'm going to burn myself a cd from dad's extensive itunes library, and sing along while I quilt it. No doubt with a box of tissues at my side.
