Quilt No. 9

I was blog hopping a couple of months ago and came across an English blogger in France who has a 14 year old niece suffering from Leukaemia. For the life of me I can't find Karen's blog again. So Karen if you are reading this could you be an angel and send me the link.

Quilt No. 10

We have, left to right reading from the top:-

Nicolette in Holland, Simonetta in Italy, Siobhan in the UK
Jane in the UK, Carmina in Spain, Christina in Italy
Carol in the USA, Roberta in the UK, Joyce in Canada
Siobhan in the UK, Juliann in the US, Ruth in South Africa

Batting from Linda (bless her heart)
Backing and binding from Tonya
Rest - yours truly.

Quilt No. 10

Quilt No. 10 is already up on the wall. Again, I found a little boy via the PostPals site. Links on the sidebar on the left.

Great quilt! Please tell me a little more about what a red/white eye spy block would look like. I've always had a kind of vague understanding of that term, eye spy.

That looks great Clare. I hope you have found Karen by now.

Karen said...

I'm here! I've emailed you my address again Clare and my blog is http://karenscreation.blogspot.com

Typing through tears here as you might imagine: The quilt is truly beautiful, stunning. The international elements make it all the more special and we are really grateful to everyone who has contributed towards it. I look forward to seeing it for real and admiring all the detail.

Terri was first diagnosed aged 6 and is now 15 so it's been a long struggle and she still has a long way to go but she is on the up after finally having a bone marrow transplant on 9th July.

I'll keep you updated on her progress. Thank you again. xxx

Hi,

I am the Dad of AJ, a 14 year old cancer warrior. I wanted to make you aware (maybe again) and enlist your help for the Cure Childhood Cancer petition! Our goal is to have a one-hour special on network TV devoted solely to CHILDHOOD CANCER to raise awareness. And publish a parent-written book about our miraculous children, with all proceeds going to CureSearch.

The GREAT news is that CureSearch (story on the Petition), LIVESTRONG (story on the Petition) and Alex’s Lemonade Stands have ALL written about the Petition on their websites! And TX Children’s and DUKE have both allowed us to setup paper versions inside the hospitals! So this is a SERIOUS EFFORT AND WE ARE MAKING HEADWAY! Right now we are at nearly 12,000 signatures! But we need your help! If you can please make your readers aware, email it around, and give just a little publicity, I know we can make this happen!

Thanks again,
AJs Dad

Childhood Cancer - Petition to Raise Awareness and Funding for a CURE!
