For my wonderful family. For my loving friends.
And for all the quilters and bloggers out there who have embraced my project and given me encouragement, support, treasured stories, and LOTS AND LOTS of blocks!!!
As of today - we have REACHED our goal of 1000 blocks - and then some! 1092 is the current count!!!
I am so warmed by your support -and excited at seeing how word continues to spread.... and I am revising the goal to 4000 blocks.
Happy Thanksgiving to all our American quilters -and to our quilters worldwide -I am so Thankful that your life has touched mine - even in this small way! All the best wishes to all of you, wherever you are!!!!!
4Patches4Hope began as a desire to use my passion for quilting and the power of social media and word of mouth to create comfort quilts for those undergoing cancer treatments and also raise money for cancer research. It was to begin on my mother’s birthday –today - October 4, 2011 and be a birthday gift to her. Unfortunately Mom’s cancer had a different timetable, and on July 12, 2011 her battle with this disease ended. I decided to forge forward in her memory.
Wishing you and yours Happy Thanksgiving!
