Three Girls - One Thought

Jenni at Fairybread Quilts has put out a plea for Qs4L.

If you have been reading all about this little project of mine, but can't sew and want to help in some way, then this may be your chance.

So pop over to Jenni's blog and see what she is proposing.

I have been thinking about what to do with the beautiful beautiful crazy block from Hideko. It really is too beautiful to put in one of the quilts.

I thought about giving it to Sophie and Floyd as if it wasn't for Floyd I wouldn't be doing this in the first place.

But, I was thinking last night that perhaps the parents of one of the quilt recipients should have it as, after all, they are going through just as much hell as their child. The thought of watching my lovely Alex in such pain every day! What heartache these strong strong people must be going through I cannot imagine.

So, I need your help.

Do I send this to the parents of dear David who left us last month after a long battle;

does it go to Sophie's parents who are being so so brave for their beautiful little girl;

does it go to Rachel's parents who are, hopefully, nearing the end of their daughter's long fight with this disease; or

does it go to Kezia's Mum who must feel rather lost and lonely in a country where she doesn't speak the language and her husband is thousand's of miles away.

I haven't linked to Rachel's site as her mother has specifically asked me not to, but you may be able to find her journal if you click on the Caring Bridge link on the left.

One Happy Girl

Rachel's Mum sent me this photo at the weekend.


Look at the smile on her face! It's pictures like this that make it all worthwhile.

More Blocks Arriving

In my haste to get other things finished, I forgot to thank Fiona for her gorgeous blocks.

And a big thanks to Anne in Norway for her blocks too.

Rachel's Quilt was posted well over a week ago and as I haven't heard from Allison, I am getting a bit worried.

As for Kezia's quilt, Tonya over at Lazy Gal and I have a cunning plan :-)
