Daily Kos: Community Quilt for nannyboz

Let's show nannyboz some community love in the form of a quilt bearing our words of love and support. ?She'll be able to hang on to it as she gets treatment for her back. ?And she can cry her grief into it and be supported by all of us. ?We'll be there for her, in fabric and thread.

Write a message for nannyboz in the comments below and I will transcribe it in archival ink on muslin, to be sewn into a colorful quilt for her. ?If you would also like to donate toward the cost of the project (time and material), here is a PayPal link. ?We suggest $10/message -- but if you can't afford to donate, send your message anyway. ?Trust that someone will cover for you. ?That being said, my sister and I appreciate your support of our quilt project as it is our living.

Currently, we are working on the quilting for remembrance's quilt. ?We just collected the last needed messages for MassHarry's quilt and will be starting work on that this weekend. ?If you would like to leave a message for Regina in a Sears Kit House, click the link to her quilt diary. ?I learned today that she has just been admitted to the hospital -- your good wishes will be a great help to her.
