Bustergirl’s quilt
ZenTrainer is fighting breast cancer. Her prospects are good and so is her attitude – some old-fashioned community support can only aid her and help ensure a return to robust health. Will you help with an uplifting message of support to be included in a community quilt for her? The power of loving words is immense – as is the power of a sense of community. Those two things, loving words and community, give these blankets great mojo.
We have thirty-four messages and need thirty-four more...

I will write your message in archival ink on muslin and sew it into ZenTrainer’s quilt. Her quilt will be themed around dogs and cats as her vocation is working with them...
It is not necessary to contribute to leave a message, but if you would like to support our work, here is a PayPal link – or email me for a snail mail address if you prefer checks. Your donation keeps us going and we so appreciate your support.
