As of tonight the quilters of the world have responded with 4118 blocks for 4Patches4Hope!!! Some of you have shared your stories and your reasons, most of you have shared your names, some of you have remained anonymous - but all of you have shared your scraps, your skill, your time, and your hearts!!!
I can't thank you enough!!!
I will continue to accept blocks - and every single one received will find its way into a comfort quilt. Not all by February 28th - but I will continue to assemble them block by block, row by row, and quilt by quilt. My first delivery goal is the week following Easter in South Carolina, and then we will go from there and see how quickly we can get them made and delivered.
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.
I was at a quilt retreat this weekend in Phoenix, AZ and made a bunch of these for you as a leader/ender project. When I get home, I'll finish the ones that are left to do, and get them in the mail...hopefully by the end of the week. Sally In SoCal
