Predictor's quilt
When Lorikeet wrote about the return of her cancer, there was an enormous outpouring of sympathy. I am looking for some uplifting messages from you to her to put in a “love catcher” blanket that she can use while in chemo, and which will cheer her in the years to come.
luvsathoroughbred’s quilt – Lorikeet’s will be this size
We currently have 28 messages which I will transcribe onto muslin and heat set for permanence. I will need a total of either 68 or 72 to make the pattern I have in mind. If you have not already left a message for Lorikeet, please do so in the comments below.
