An attempt to make a not so good situation just that little better

So a few months ago while having coffee with a friend she told me some news that just stopped me.  And other than going "ohh man that sucks" I had no idea what to say, do, or how to relate in anyway.

So I did the best I could with my dumbfounded face and then headed home.  And because I just have to keep my hands busy while my heads raceing to stop me going nuts.  As soon as I waked in the door I sat down at my sewing machine.

It wasnt long untill I had to head back out for more supplies, and while out fabric shopping I came across this amazing jellyroll and the blueberry picnic pattern from Donnas Quilt Studio and walla boom I had my way to help make a friends not so good situation a little better.

So 2 weeks and a few more trips to fabric shops I gotta say I am pretty happy with the effect of the final quilt, though the photo isn't the clearest.
P.S I still havnt got the hang of this blog lay out thing.
