Quilting Friends Everywhere: Our dear friend - a sometimes quick witted nemisis, Trupeach, really needs our encouraging words. As you all know (I think) her daughter was seriously injured last summer, when a huge rock was thrown into the taxi cab she was riding in. It happened in Ohio.
I don't feel comfortable explaining in detail, but want all of you to know she needs to know how much we love and care for her. I think it might be nice to send her a simple square of fabric, perhaps 5 or 6 inches. She told me she has always wanted a quilt that was just blue and white. It is also close to valentine's day. If you need her address, pm me or ask on this thread and I'll pm you back. You all have come through for me so many times, I just know you will want to help her get through the next few days and weeks as she takes care of her daughter. Thanks for caring so much about so many. Gwyn |
count me in
|
Absolutely, sending PM now.
|
I want to help too
|
PM me her addy please.
|
I'm new and of course don't know her but would be happy to do this. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to send a PM (new, as mentioned, and stayed up all night quilting, so fuzzy. ;)

Gwyn,
You are such a great friend, just send me your addy and will happily send. |
Would like to send some--sent you a PM for her address,
Thanks Gwynn for doing this. |
I have a squishy to send to Peachy, that I had to wait for fixed income check to be able to send. It's here now.
Trupeach has really been through quite an ordeal, and has really struggled to stay strong through it all. We are not talking a beautiful daughter that just needs to heal, we are talking a tragedy that won't completely go away. A mom's heartbreak, y'all. I'll see if I have any blue and whites to add to it, too, Gwynn. Your a thoughtful friend, and understanding. :-D |
Sent you a PM. I'll play.
Edit: Would anyone else be interested in sending a 12" finished blue/white block to Trupeach? I'd do that. |
Oh my goodness. Several of you have asked about sending a quilt block. This would be great. How about we stick to 12.5" and just blue and white. Don't worry about which color blue, she thinks blue is just blue and will love all of it. I don't have time to coordinate a quilt, so just send her the blocks...and only if you want too.
Peachy just needs our love and support... If I missed sending you the address, pm me. I'll get them all sooner or later. If you get it twice, sorry. Just trying to not leave anyone out. Gwyn |
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Where in the world are there such huge hearts and sweet spirits as on this forum? You are all so awesome. Have a wonderful and blessed long weekend. Gwyn
|
Send me her address and I will send her something.
Judy |

I sent a PM too, and received an answer. Gwyn, thanks so much. I wasn't aware of this; I think it happened before I joined. I can't send a block right now, but I'll definitely send some blue and/or white squares.
|
Me too.
|
Sending you a PM

Yep, count me in....
|
I PM'd you Gwen.
|
count me in too.
|
Thank you all so very much. Trupeach is really going to appreciate everything. It will really touch her heart. Gwyn
|
I love talking with Trupeach on the chat room and have discussed her daughter many times. It is hard on Tru, please pm me with her address.
Blessings for doing this. Dix |
Count me in for something...maybe not a block but something blue and white
|
Please send me PM with info for Trupeach. I would love to send her some pretty blue fabric. I don't know what happened, but my heart aches for her.
|
I don't know what happened, but can empathize, My DD was broadsided in September. We are lucky she is still with us.
I will PM you for an address, and may not get a block done, but will be happy to share blue and white fabric. |
Gwyn, I'm in, I'll PM you for her address.
|
I'm in too.
|
I think I may have a lil bit of blue and white to make a block. Is there a specific pattern or size? Sent you a pm already. Hope that I can help out. :D Tigger :D
|
Sending a PM now.
|
thank you all for doing this for Trupeach, and Gwyn, thank you so much for doing this for our dear sweet wild loving friend. She is going thru so much...she has her own very serious and dibilitating (sp?) illness, and then her beautiful daughter, whose life has basically been destroyed by the careless acts of stupid people throwing rocks at cars...It's a heartache, all of it.
You are all so wonderful and thoughtful. |
Count me in! I have some great blue and whites I can send!

What a fabulous idea!!
Although I don't know Trupeach (I'm new to board) having worked in a Rehab Hospital I'm thinking the rock caused a TBI (traumatic brain injury) which is a lifelong condition. It's terribly hard on a mother (and all family members) to watch our children confined by tragedy. I'll look though my blues, which are not abundant. What a great way to bring a smile to Trupeach. I have a block in mind and after I return later this morning I'll check to be sure I've got enough then PM you! Has anyone told you lately ... Y'all ROCK! |
