Earlier today, my post mentioned the hardship that has befallen Terry's family. (Look back one post to read that if you didn't already read it.) One of her blogging friends has an idea of something to do for Terry. Click HERE to read about it. I intend to participate by sending a block...will wait a day to see if colors are decided or if it's to be totally scrappy AND I'm going to include a couple of dollars. Nobody asked for the money, BUT...I'm sure it can be used...either towards getting the quilt top assembled and quilted OR to give the money to Terry. She has kids still in school and a husband in the hospital an hour from home and now will lose his regular paycheck for awhile....so I'm sure every little bit we can do will help. Quilters are known for their willingness to help others and we often do it for people we don't know.....so I'm only too happy to do this for someone as kind and caring as our blogging friend, Terry. Won't some of you go read the link I gave above and join me in this effort??? (Her friend is giving a prize...and that is pictured here. I'm not really interested in the prize...but I sure am interested in anything we can do to let Terry know we care.) OH..and her friend is hoping maybe a longarmer will read about this and donate his or her services to quilt the top for Terry so that expense can be spared.......if you are a longarmer who might be interested, let Terry's friend know when you click on that link above. UPDATE: colors have been decided.....reds, blues, yellows, browns as Terry's love is "country". The quilt will be a "scrappy love" quilt.

Thanks Pat....I went over and offered quilting service if need be.
Pat, thanks for posting about Terry's husband, she's on my bloglist, but I haven't been good about visiting everyone.
Keep Stitchen'

Thank you Pat!!

Hi Pat, I didn't realize Tudy and Terry were related and I've posted on both of their blogs. I read about the accident on Tudy's blog. That's so kind of you to put this up. I offered to do a label since I have an embroidery machine. It looks like there will be enough blocks to do a couple of quilts. Quilters are the most generous people..
