Over the past few months, Sara R has been creating a series of "community quilts" bearing messages of healing, support, and love. One of the recipients is my partner, Kitsap River, and we finally received it yesterday.

A number of Sara R's quilts have been commissioned by the DailyKos community for members of this site who are facing serious illness (or in one case, losing one's home in a devastating fire).

All of them contain messages from you, the DailyKos community, and all of them carry a great measure of love and support for their recipients.

As I mentioned, we collected Kitsap River's quilt from the Post Office yesterday. Here are a few pictures I grabbed on my cellphone camera as she was reading what you've written her (please excuse the image quality):
