Some wonderful folks here in town are holding a fundraising benefit for my nephew Levi, who was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgekins this past December.
Our wonderful friends rein and jnebug helped in such a big way and a BIG THANKS to both of them. The fabric for the baby quilt was donated by jnebug and assembled and quilted by rein. rein did the smaller lap quilt, and sent them out to us to be auctioned at the fundraiser. Both of them are just beautiful :).
The bigger blue bordered one I did, my mother and sister helped with purchasing the fabric. So, all around group efforts.
I promise better pictures of the quilts with Levi at the benefit this coming Saturday the 26th, but wanted to get them posted since I need to turn them over to one of the gals organizing the auction. She wants to display them at her place of business for a the rest of the week.
I want to thank sewbusy and Love2Quilt as well. Sewbusy has UPS'd a baby quilt for the auction that is scheduled to arrive Tuesday and Love2Quilt has sent a donation as well.
Thank you all sooo much ladies, your kindness is overwhelming.
Thanks also for all of the prayers and good thoughts from all the wonderful gals in chat, you are all soo appreciated and thanks just doesn't seem to say enough!!

They are all beautiful. And so nice of everyone to donate to such a good cause.

Kyia

You are all wonderful and quilts are beautiful!!

Pretty, pretty!
They did a great job!

Kudos to everyone! Such pretty quilts and for a wonderful cause!

What a nice gesture..good on all the people that are doing wonderful things like this as it must be so hard on the family going through such a tough time..

Lisa, i'm so very very sorry about your nephew, but glad to see so many helping for such a good cause. The quilts are beautiful, and i hope the fundraiser turns out really well. I'm sorry i didnt know, there isnt time for me to do something now, but please let us know how the fundraiser works out, and if there will be another one, i would gladly do a quilt for your nephews cause (((hugs)))

Thanks everyone. I'll update you after the fundraiser and let everyone know how it went. They're having a whole hog dinner, raffle, auction, one of our semi-professional musicians will be playing as well. Everything has been donated including the hogs for the dinner; so many kind people!! I can tell you that the tickets to the dinner are selling like hot cakes!!

Barb sweetie, not to worry, prayers and good thoughts are worth gold :).

Yet again this post proves how very generous and openhearted everyone here is, good luck with the auction and my best wishes to all the family for the future :-)

Lisa...you know, all you have to do is ask...you will recieve!
Heck, I'd even donate a boat with oars/paddles for a trip here to Guam! No gas necessary, muscle power! lol
I hope the event is a success and you make TONS of money.
Hugs to your family!

Dizzy Izy - thats me!! - I forgot to mention how lovely the quilts are, I am sure they will go down great at the auction!! :D

Thanks Izy!! You're right about the generous open-hearted people here! It's amazing isn't it?

Terri, I know sweetie, and thank you so very much. The benefit came about very quickly, with not a whole lot of time to prepare. I had asked in chat one night about "quickie quilts" because I only had about 3 weeks to get one ready. Our wonderful gals gave me all kinds of wonderful ideas, and then made quilts to donate to boot. See, you need to come chat with us more often girlfriend :D. I wonder if we get donations per linear mile on that row boat idea LOL. I paddle left, you paddle right :thumbup: :lol:

What a great bunch of good hearted generous ladies.......I hope your benifit makes a million :D

Great job on the quilts! I hope the auction is a success, it's for a very good cause.

I hope to quilt as good as you guys in the near future, but I won't hold my breath. :lol: :lol: :lol:
