Adriansmom was a wonderful lady who belonged to this quilting board until July 7th, 2010 when she passed away from a long illness. Her name was Cathy Smith and she left behind a husband and young son.

I would like to make a quilt for them in memory of Cathy and as a way of extending the love of our group to this man and little boy during a rough time.

If you know Cathy's address so I can mail the finished quilt to her it would be VERY helpful.

Once I get her address, I will open up a thread to ask for quilt squares. I'm sure she participated in a swap or two so someone should have her address somewhere. We just need to wrack our collective brain to figure this out.

Gwyn

That is so sweet of you!

Let me see if I can get it.

They live in Omaha, Neb. although another area says Council Bluff, IA

But that is all I have - so far.

Thank you. That would be great!

Gwyn, I would love to send a block for this. I remember her and her family but I don't have any info.
Keep us posted

This is so thoughtful. I also remember Cathy, hope you get the info. you are looking for.

Me too. Julie - I love that teapot on your avatar

Sorry I don't have her addy but someone has got to have it. If you get it I will be more than happy to send you some blocks for this quilt. I do remember her.

There were a number of quilters that sent her stuff after her house fire. Maybe one of them still has it. She did live in Council Bluffs not far from me but I'm not sure where they moved after the fire.

Sent you a PM. I think I found it.

Gwyn, I have an address at an apt. in Council Bluff...I don't think this is right. I think this was where they went after the fire.

Sent you a pm

Okay -- I was gone for that week in July -- I missed something!!! What happened to Cathy????

I have it, but will check with Arron in case he and Adrian have moved. I will PM you as soon as I have it. I will not mention anything. I contact him from time to time.

you can always ask her husband..if you do a search for her name..he posted the facebook page he started,when she past on...he still posts here occasionally.

Please let us know what theme/colors/size that you envision. Gwyn, this is terrific that you would organize the quilt. Will certainly help you to make a block. It was good that her husband just sent us an update.

That is such a precious thoughtful idea. I didn't know her but I would be willing to help with squares.

If you could PM when with the link for the quilt please. I miss some posts.

Yes, do pm Gwyn..I don't always read all the threads due to lack of time. I'd love to help out though.

Please count me as part of this. What a wonderful way to give comfort and praise to a friend. Thanks also for the gift we give to ourselves by honoring another.

A quilt is such a great gift to someone grieving.. I know.. I'd make a block too.. Just figure out the size block you want.. and what colors you're using..

Perhaps if there are enough blocks that come in.. of if they are not too small, both Cathy's husband and her son could have a lap quilt. That would really be nice.

Have you tried going to the person who monitors this site? Merry Christmas

Wow this is so nice of all of you. I'll participate in blocks.
Way to go Gwyn. Your so awesome and thoughtful. Let me know what the blocks are going to be Gwyn. :thumbup:

Yeah! Thank you. This is all I needed. Now I can get the thread started for making blocks.

I would love to participate if you still need help

I think this is a great idea! Please let us know what size/color blocks you are looking for, I would love to make some for this cause. God Bless!

I have to write it up and get admins approval. When it finally posts, I'll put a link here.

Wow, I missed this too. So heart wrenching to read; count me in for blocks!

What a nice thing to do!

Would love to make a square

I'm so sorry to hear about this -- thanks for the link. How sad!!! She was so young! Yes, count me in - I'd be honored to make a block!

I would love to make her a memorial square!

count me in for the quilt

I will make a block also

I'll make a block.

Right now I have asked for approval from admin. I should be able to post a thread for the quilt by Monday. I'll link it on here so everyone will know.

I would like to make a block or blocks also. I remember her too & it certainly was sad. I think this is a great idea for her family. Thank you for organizing this. Very sweet & thoughtful of you!

Wasnt Adriansmom the person who lost their home in a fire?
