Deborah's Pink Quilt

As a family gift this year, we received a quilt in memory of Deborah.  This is no ordinary quilt. It is pink with photo patches of Deborah's life, revealing her nineteen years of precious life. The photo's emerge into the shape of a heart, with little pink and white heart shapped buttons to adorn the quilt. Scripture verses adorn the edges, reading the following from : Revelations 21 verse 4,He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.  There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
 Psalm 23 verse 6, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.




Matthew chapter 5 verse 4 Blessed are they that mourn:  for they shall be comforted.
The above verses all had great significances to her life, and I believe she is wearing the crown of life now promised to those who loved Him, Revelations chapter 2 verse 10. The scripture verse on her stone. 
The under side has a baby pink sweet fuzzy feel, which gives added warmth and comfort to us. I have no idea of the hours of planning sewing and going to Fabricland that it took, to complete this project. Our family forever will treasure it. We consider it a work of art, and now we simply have to finish our work here before we see her again.
