exmearden's quilt top
You may know me as Rain on Street Prophets or from the signature quilt projects at Yearly Kos and Netroots Nation. Right now, I’m on a healing quilt mission. Two beloved Kossacks are dealing with cancer. I learned about emearden’s illness through Dem in the heart of Texas’ tender Grieving Room diary and suggested doing a quilt inscribed with messages for her from her friends, much as I had done for othniel recently. Dem in the heart of Texas kindly put up an action diary for exmearden’s quilt project including a collection for my work with any excess to go to exmearden.
That diary was amazingly successful. Not only did it shoot to the top of the rec list immediately, we collected enough for two quilts. Two quilts! It is exmearden’s kind desire that the remaining funds be used to create a quilt for MsSpentYouth who is bravely dealing with a brain tumor and insurance issues.
I am thrilled, honored, and so, so pleased to do this for MsSpentYouth.
If you have a brief message for MsSpentYouth to hold to her heart in this quilt, would you please write it in a comment below. I will inscribe it on muslin in archival ink and heat set it for permanence. Your love will not ever wash out of this blanket – and MsSpentYouth can hold all of your collected sentiments close. I know these kind thoughts in a blanket will be an enormous support to her.
Thank you so much. I look forward to working with your messages and thank you all for the opportunity to do this for MsSpentYouth – with especial thanks to exmearden and Dem in the heart of Texas. I would like to have this done and mailed to MsSpentYouth within ten days.
