Everyone feels better when wrapped in a quilt....
Anne, not being a quilter and not knowing where to start asked for my help in reaching out to the quilters in the blogging community for help. Anne has a friend who is a long arm quilter, and she has agreed to do the quilting, and someone has donated fabric for the backing.
What needs to be done and quickly is the actual quilt. I have agreed to send out a plea to any and all who will help make this dream for this little girl come to pass.
If you can make a 6 1/2 inch block to donate to this quilt project and have it in the mail to me by the first of next week, that would be super. I will construct the top very quickly and have it off to the lady who is going to do the quilting. I know that we will have what we need to put a smile on this little girls face and comfort her family. If you have some left over blocks this size, those would work too!
Colors....happy colors....for a little girl!!!
Please leave me a comment and let me know you will be willing to send a block. Please include your name and a small note of well wishes to this family with your block. Please remember, no one really knows how much time we have, so this needs to happen and happen very quickly.
Mail your blocks to:
Suzanne Melkoski
729 Winnie St.
Ft. Worth, Tx 76112
Thank you in advance....I know in my heart there will be many who will help me and Anne see this finished and in a very timely manner.
***If you can help spread the word on your own blogs...please feel free to do so!!
Love you Suzanne! I Posted on FaceBook too. My niece Holly sent the post forward too. I hope we get response.
ReplyDeleteLove you too Anne....Don't worry, we will get her a quilt!!
DeleteThat is such a sweet idea. I wish I knew how to quilt.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best with the quilt. I only do scrap patchwork ones and live in Australia. I don't think anything I could do would get there in time. I hope all goes well, Lovely thought.

ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law Debbie is going to make 2 bllocks for you since i don't quilt!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne...CollectInTexas Gal...Sue...here. I'm the LongArm Quilter Anne mentioned. I will supply the batting, do the binding and and as the last person to handle the quilt will ship it to Shannon. If there is to be a label and or a letter I'm assuming that will come from Anne, and can either go with the quilt or be sent seperately. Just let me know. I'll be ready to put it on my machine as soon as I receive it in the mail. Blessings to all the wonderful quilt bloggers for making this happen. If you will email me at collectintexas@gmail.com I will send you my mailing address...Sue
ReplyDeleteSue -- Thank you so much for taking this on! It's wonderful to see the way people come together on this! I'm just making a couple of blocks, but you are giving so much more! Annie
DeleteI will send 2 blocks tomorrow to you for this little angel. Will that be enough? Since I am in NY I will send them 2 day mail to get to you on time.

I just saw your post and I want to make sure I understand correctly -- you want blocks that are 6 1/2" unfinished, to finish 6", right? I'll get to work on a couple as soon as I finish running a few errands. Should be in the mail by the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteI posted this on my blog for Anne, but didn't know about you until now. I will add you to the post so people can come to you directly, Suzanne. TY for all you are doing.
ReplyDeleteI have a 13 yr. old with brain stem cell cancer that I've been bringing to all's attention for the past week plus. You may wish to read about Angel Dawn on my blog ...

I will go thru my fabrics and try to come up with some little girl cheerful quilt blocks for you tomorrow, to post to you on Monday. But, if you are able to email me her mailing info I am pretty sure I can get her a kid friendly quilt ASAP. I belong to a couple of charity quilt groups that focus on kids and one (CR4TS) makes full size quilts for kids with cancer.
