peregrine kate's quilt top
Our alliedoc is fighting cancer -- and the community is gathering around her with supportive messages, to be sewn into a quilt. You can leave a loving message below for alliedoc and I will transcribe it in archival ink on muslin. You can give her something to hang on to as she goes through her treatment, something tactile and warm and full of the love of people who care about her.
Detail of Jester's quilt
If you would like to donate toward the cost of making the quilt (materials and some of our time), here is a PayPal link -- or message me for a snail mail address if you prefer checks. The suggested donation is $10/message. It is not necessary to donate to leave a message, though. Your words are extremely valuable -- know that.
