Tuscan Rose, the quilt for nudger
Nudger has Stage IV ovarian cancer. She is still in the hospital, being treated. Recently off of a ventilator, she is still on a feeding tube. Her prognosis is better -- but knowing that I am going in for surgery, myself, soon and that it would take more than a six to eight weeks to get a message quilt to her, we are offering "Tuscan Rose" as an alternative for her comfort. We can ship it tomorrow -- and she might have it as early as Wednesday.
Boots inspects the quilt and finds it to be good
We are asking $475 for this quilt plus shipping -- which is likely to be about $16. If you would like to contribute toward it, here is a PayPal link. When the total has been reached, I will announce. Please do leave well wishes in the comments below, though. Her local friends from Northwest Progressive Instititute will read them to her.
mango's quilt
Mango's quilt is on its way to her in Mexico. We have Lt. Choi's quilt in progress and have collected messages for DaNang65 and Nurse Kelley.
Look for a quilt diary for Aji this Wednesday evening.
