Lap Quilts

Last December my depression was really driving me to become a social hermit.  So, I ask a friend if she would start a quilt tying club with me.  She did and away we went...my sewing machine broke so she put the first few together.  I got my machine fixed and here are my first five lap quilts and baby quilt to be tied.   We give them to the elderly or new mothers in our Church.  Today we took two quilts to a couple .  They are 92 and 89.  And both cried from happiness.  My life has been less depressed and more enjoyable. I am blessed.
