After moving to Canada I went through some serious health issues, and when my quilting friends in Germany heard about this, they started making healing hearts (or stars or shamrocks or whatever seemed appropriate) blocks for me to cheer me up. I received the blocks for this quilts three weeks before my treatments started and managed to finish the binding the night before.
Blocks pieced, appliquéd and embroidered by members of the German “Quilt Sterne” Forum, machine pieced and machine quilted by Beatrice Rieske





A beautiful gesture by those that care. Lovely personalized quilt. I hope your health is better as I write this. It looks like this quilt was created in 2016.
I hope you are still stitching and creating. Thinking of you and your quilting community.
