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.

4 Patch or not 4 Patch...
Two more quilts are on their way to be delivered - neither is a 4Patch, but both are made from fabrics that were donated. Quite a bit of fabric, in fact. All from the same fabric line. These are 2 of 3 that were assembled (the third is not sandwiched up yet) - and there is enough for probably 2 more big block quilts -and plenty to work into 4 patches.
Assembly on 4 patches continues - now that the colder weather is setting in, I just need to do some final fall garden cleanup and the outdoors calls less and less. The quilt frame is not set up yet - it needs some DIY attention from Hubby- who is busy replacing our rotted out front porch and installing a new insulated front door. Once I can come and go out the front again - I will put him to work on getting me up and quilting!!! For now I continue lots of straight line work....
