Miss Blue's quilt, "Cowgirl Up!"
Our friend, DaNang65, has heart disease. Let us put our hearts around him, wish for his perfect health, and honor him as a veteran. We can do this with messages in a quilt, something he can wrap up in whenever he needs the good wishes of his friends. Let's make a "love catcher" for DaNang65.
ZenTrainer's quilt
What is a "love catcher"? It is a quilt incorporating messages from you, transcribed by me in archival ink on muslin. The love in a love catcher is palpable and will never wash out.

I generally figure the cost of making these quilts at $5/message plus shipping -- to cover materials and a bit of our time. I've rolled a balance from Granny Doc's quilt (the one we are at work on now) forward for DaNang65's quilt -- but if you would like to pitch in anyway, it would be a help to me and my sister and this project. Here is a PayPal link if you would like to contribute -- or email for a snail mail address if you prefer to send a check. We do appreciate your support very much.
That being said, it is not at all necessary to give anything to leave a message. Please leave one! Your message for DaNang65 has great value and will add to the mojo of this quilt -- so don't be shy!
