I JwinIL14 (you can call him John in your quilt messages) is a gentle man of great humor who is well beloved in the Pootie Peeps and other community groups. He is getting ready for surgery for lung cancer on Sept. 26 — and I and my sister are doing our best to get him a community quilt to take with him to the hospital.
Messages are complete but we are still short $274 in funding for this quilt (I will keep thesis number updated).
Here is a PayPal link to support this quilt.
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. If you would like to contribute toward the cost of this quilt, here is a PayPal link— or message me for an address should you prefer a check. $20/message is suggested by no worries if you cannot afford to donate. We still want your message! This is a crowdfunded thing and some always give more to cover messages for those who are short on funds.
Please note, if you leave a message in PayPal or somewhere other than the comments below, please Kos Mail me to make sure I pick it up.

PAYPAL LINK FOR JWINIL14'S COMMUNITY QUILT - THANK YOU!
If we could get the remaining messages today, it would be a big help because this truly is a rush project. The backing and border fabric will be arriving early next week but if we could have the center of the quilt done beforehand, it would be optimal. But for that, we need the messages to be complete.
Namaste.
