THREE QUARTERS DONE

A week ago, I lost another colleague at work due to reduced hours and pay, and lack of healthcare options. Rent is about $1500 for a modest one bedroom apartment with utilities. Healthcare for a single person is about the same.

HALF DONE

She was forced to choose between the two. 


She had been at the store a long time and we loved her. Her graduate degree in costuming had long served us as we turned to her as a resource. 

DONE

To celebrate the new beginning she made for herself, we made 12" quilt blocks for her to assemble as she liked. 


I took pictures of mine in process. One done, one three-quarters done, one half done. I enjoyed working on them and I will miss my young friend.
