Secret Project Not Secret Anymore

We have been working on a secret project over the past few weeks.  Yesterday was the end of the secret.  I have mentioned my friend Danielle before, along with her belief that red socks make you feel better if you are sick.  She is undergoing radiation for a brain tumor so the natural thing to do is make her a quilt – a quilt of red socks.  Not sure if I mentioned that she grew up in Boston.  That matters because of the name of the quilt and label.

Here is Danielle under the quilt Monday afternoon.

Here it is from the front.

We used the leftover fabric from Bill’s sock monkey quilt for the borders and received lots of red sock blocks.  I quilted it with hearts and loops.

We are all wearing red socks, along with Danielle and of course prayers are always welcome.

My Friend Danielle

Here is a photo of my friend Danielle and me taken a few years ago – obviously at a quilt show.  Danielle is in Little Rock at the University of Arkansas medical facility.  She has a brain tumor and the best neurosurgeon in the world will be operating on her this week.  Dr. Yasagril is highly recommended and Danielle is grateful that he has agreed to accept her as a patient.

Lynda and her husband are also in Little Rock to give support to Danielle and her husband.  She has an 11 year old daughter who is staying in Georgia.  I will be at Danielle’s house during the evenings, shared with my other friends, to take care of her and get her off to school on time.  This week is a school vacation so she is staying with friends.  We hope that Danielle will be able to travel back to Georgia for her recovery in less that two weeks.

Please pray for a good outcome and that all goes well.
