Hi everyone. I know that there is a post already by turtlerouge about helping adriansmom (Cathy) but I thought I would put out another post just in case you missed the first one. It suggested gift cards, and I know that some of us are having some cash issues these days, but I thought that we might have some duplicate items we would be willing to share. We could make up a "care package" and mail it to Cathy for a minimal cost - and yet help cheer her up and make things a bit easier for her when they do get to go home (they are in an apartment right now).
Anyway here are a few things I have thought of:

Rotary Cutter
Blades
Ruler(s)
Cutting board
Squares
Books
Fabric
Yardage
Fat Quarters
Fat Halves
Scraps
Squares

Thread
Pins
Hand sewing needles
Marking pencils (chalk etc)

I have her address - so if you are interested - you may send me a private message or go to turtlerouge's post as she entered the address there.

Hi Rein, Is ver thoughtful of you to think about helping. I have a small group going on right now getting organized to send her a few things. She will be offline until Thursday but I "spoke" to her last night. She is in her new apartment and is ready to receive items.

So far I have arranged for her to receive a sewing machine, some fabric, rotary cutter and blades, fabrics on her favorite colors, pins, basic rulers, etc. Someone offered to send her $ to get herself a cutting mat she can get localy, since a large one will be hard to mail. Most people will add some fabric to the boxes as stuffing. The only book I have found for her is Fat Quarter Fun. Please PM me if you want any more information.

That's great Maride - I will send her "Irish Chain in a Day" by Eleanor Burns and a 6.5 in Easy Square JR along with some fabrics. Thanks for letting me know.

I know she wants to make a Turning 20. does anyone have the pattern to share with her?

It's nice that people are listing what they're sending so no one sends duplicates.

This is a wonderful group. I am in her home town so please PM her address so I can send some fabric locally. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

I just had a call from a gal who lives close to me - and I will get to meet her tomorrow - she has some extra blades,thread and some FQ's she will give for me to include when I ship PLUS I will get to meet yet another quiltingboard fan! Lucky me....
