A Community Quilt for Othniel

Our friend othniel had surgery tomorrow (Thursday) to have a very deep abscess in his leg drained.  He has been in a lot of pain and has felt understandable anxiety about the whole ordeal.  It is a serious problem that he is dealing with and I know his is trying to keep his heart as light and brave as possible.  It would be a very good thing if we sent him some support.  So yesterday, I started a project through Street Prophets.  http://www.streetprophets.com/...

I propose to make something for him – as quickly as I can – to remind him of our esteem and love for him while he heals.  I am envisioning a simple, tied, lap quilt made from cheerful novelty fabrics interspersed with messages from us.  Think of it as a giant get well card that will blanket him with good feeling.

We don’t have time to mail around patches for signing but if you would like to send a short message to othniel with your name (to fit in a 4.5 inch block), I will write it for you.  We can have up to 65 messages (or fewer) -- and thirty something are remaining.  So…if you would like to do this, write in a comment below what you would like to say to him.  

I will take pictures, of course, before it is mailed.
