Heart breaking news

I was up really late last night piecing Blake's Quilt.
By the time I went to bed the quilting was nearly finished.
Then this morning it was trimmed and before I went out this afternoon
the binding was made. 


I have come home to the heart breaking news that beautiful little Blake has gained his Angel Wings.
No words that can be written can begin to express what I feel for his Parents, family and all of you for helping me make Blake's Quilt possible.  

Blake Paull Gordon-Cooke


Hold your loved ones just that little tighter.


I do not know Blake or his family.  Their story touched my heart.
Blake's quilt will have the binding sewn down and a label attached in the next couple of days 
and then it will me mailed to Blake's Grieving Parents.  The remaining blocks and blocks
 still coming will be made into another quilt and donated in memory of beautiful little Blake.
Thank you xx


Hugs Sharon xx
