I'm not sure how long she'll be able to use it, or even if she'll be able to appreciate it, but once again my reaction to the news of sickness is to sew, so I'm making a quilt.
It's pretty much all I can do from far away.

If it ain't one thing, it's another...
I'm pretty sure in the grand scheme of things that an aunt in hospice trumps babies that aren't arriving for another two months. So we've had a change of schedule.

So sorry about your aunt. I've always said that a quilt is a tangible expression of love so I'm sure this quilt will comfort her. And hopefully it will comfort you to be able to show her some love.
I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. I agree, my first impulse is to sew something too. I'm hoping you get done quickly and that your aunt will feel the love you've put into the quilt.
Sorry to hear about your aunt and that she is far away. I have had the same reaction to news like this before. Sewing really does help and conveys a sweet message.
Hope that your quilt makes a difference. Hospice care is generally done by people who care about those in their care and a handmade quilt may give them a way to relate to your aunt and may give your aunt a way to share her life in a positive way and escape for even a few minutes the joys of her life.
So sorry to hear about your aunt, I do hope your quilt will make a difference to her and comfort her.
My thoughts are with your aunt and your family. ((Hugs))
I am sorry to hear about your aunt being in a hospice but I think it is a wonderful idea to show how much you care with your quilt. Even if she can not use it for long I am convinced that it will help and assist her.
I made a quilt for my sister which you could only use for four weeks but she was covered with it during her last days, she passed away under the quilt and her urn was placed on the quilt at the funeral and that also comforted me.
Best wishes to your aunt but also to you and your family.

Have the same instincts, and also quite a few of those fabrics. And I've heard so many good things from the recipients and families, that it's worth it. Hope for the best!
