ImpeachKingBushII’s quilt, “Bear Paw”
UPDATE: Message collection is complete at 108 messages!
Kossack Predictor is very ill from HIV and the aftermath of a major stroke that has left him permanently disabled. This sweet man lives in pain. Let us make him a “love catcher” quilt, full of supportive messages from the community that will lift him and never let him down.
Please write a message for Predictor in a comment below. I will transcribe it in archival ink on muslin and my sister and I will sew it into a quilt full of color and images meaningful to Predictor. It is not necessary to donate to leave a message but if you would like to help with the costs associated with the quilt (materials, a bit of our time, shipping), you can use this PayPal link – or email me if you would rather send a check. We estimate costs at $4/message for simple checkerboard quilts or $5/message for the more complicated ones. We’ll need at least forty-four messages for a basic quilt.
