To say that Freelance Escapologist and his wife, Kim, have been through a hard time is underselling the truth. Kim has cancer and is valiantly fighting by undergoing some rigorous treatments. Then there is all the financial insecurity that comes with an illness like this — and in the case of this family, also insecurity in housing. This community has seen these brave people over some big hurdles and through some painful hoops. We are all invested in their success and wellbeing. So let’s tell them so in a community quilt full of loving words of support!
Please go to Freelance Escapologist's page to find links to all his diaries about this incredible journey. He and his family are heroes, full stop.

What is a community quilt? It is a quilt containing messages from you, transcribed by me in archival ink onto muslin. My sister and I incorporated these messages into a colorful design, tailor made for the recipient. Each quilt is unique and very personal. They also have a strong vibe from all the words of love and respect. Words have great power! Believe me, they really do! Leave a message in the comments below and I will {{{{hug}}}} you to let you know I have it noted.
It takes lots of time and material to make a community quilt and it is a living for me and my sister.
