We would like for you to join us, Safe Harbor IM, in congratulating the winner of our last month’s Love Project winner, Ms. Elisea Gunther. Ms. Gunther was nominated by her daughter Linda Hodges.

Here are Linda Hodges’ celebratory words about her mother:

I celebrate, lift up, and honor my mother, Elisea Villa Gunther, because no matter what a family member has done or is going through, she gives them absolute, non-judgmental compassion and care. In this way, she is very much like my grandmother, Esther Villa, who loved each one of us so deeply that we each thought we were her favorite.

My mother is not a quilt maker, but she comes from a long line of quilt makers. To this day, her most treasured possession is the quilt her mother made for her. My mom’s love is like a quilt. She wraps each one of us in her love, keeping us warm and safe from the vicissitudes of life. She will be 80 on June 14th!

Here is a picture of the Quillow/lap quilt that Safe Harbor gave away. This quilt can be folded into a pillow.
