A quilter's hug

What to do when someone you love needs a hug, but you can't give one in person?  Any quilter knows the answer to that...you give them a quilt!  Someone we love dearly has been struggling with serious health problems and is not up to having visits, so today I will be dropping off this quilt to express to him the love and hugs that we are not able to give him in person right now.
 Quilting specs: Lap quilt size (about 36x48); fabrics are 'scrapbuster' fabrics (even the backing, which is cozy flannel that was going to be pajama pants many years ago but instead has been languishing in my fabric closet); I designed the pattern to fit the Psalm fabrics I had on hand; it is free-motion quilted with various leaf and vine designs.

This quilt goes to its recipient with much love and many prayers for his comfort and healing...

The love this quilt expresses will enfold him and he will know that God cares for him...

What a beautiful and amazing gift. He will certainly feel loved and encouraged while he snuggles up in it!
