ZenTrainer's quilt
I'm sure you have heard, Lt. Dan Choi has been hospitalized. A Community Quilt has been suggested for him -- and I agree -- let's do it! This brave and honorable man should know how warmly he is supported by the hearts of this community.
Miss Blue's quilt, "Cowgirl Up!"
Leave your message in the comments below and I will inscribe it in archival ink on muslin -- my sister and I will sew it into a quilt for Lt. Choi. Try to keep your message short and uplifting -- I have a feeling there will be quite a few on this quilt!
Detail from Miss Blue's quilt
I figure the cost of making these quilts at $5/message plus shipping. If you can donate toward this project, here is a PayPal link -- or email me for a snail mail address if you prefer to send a check. But don't feel you have to donate to leave a message. Your message is what makes the quilt -- that is where all the mojo is -- so please don't be reticent about leaving one.
