      On September 27th, our dear friend Brenda (aka Trouble), underwent a 5-way heart bypass.  It was finished in less than 4 hours and she's doing well!

     We'd like to show Brenda how much we care about her and that we are thinking of her often, so we are making her a quilt as a symbol of our love.

     Here are the specifics for the blocks that will be used to make Brenda's quilt:

bullet

Blocks are to be 9.5" x 9.5", unfinished, Friendship Stars.  The pattern given uses blue and yellow.  We are not making blue/yellow blocks.  Also, the star direction goes like the example given below.  Refer below for more block information.

bullet

The deadline for the blocks is 10/15/06.  That means that Sally (aka Ponderpiggy) would like to have them in her possession no later than 10/15/06.

bullet

The background of the blocks is to be white on white (WOW).  So, where it's blue in the example above, that should be WOW.

bullet

The star is to be scrappy, so dive into your stash.  So, where it's yellow in the example above, that can be anything from your stash!

bullet

You can make more than 1 block!

bullet

If you want to sign the block, be sure to use permanent ink, and put your forum name and your home state (or country).

     All of the blocks will be mailed to Sally; she will put them together.  To find out Sally's mailing address, you can either e-mail her or Peggy (aka PeggyG6).

     We already have someone to quilt this quilt and also someone to bind it, however, we still need the following things:

bullet

Someone to donate backing/binding or $$ for the quilter (Debi (DebiLohr1)) to buy it.  DONE - No longer needed!  Thank you!

bullet

Someone to donate the batting or $$ for Debi to buy it. DONE - No longer needed!  Thank you!

bullet

Someone to donate $$ so the finished quilt can be sent back to Sally. DONE - No longer needed!  Thank you!

bullet

Someone to volunteer to make the label for the quilt, then send it to either Sally or Debi.

     Sally is going to hand-deliver this quilt to Brenda!  Don't you wish we could all be there to see Brenda when she's presented with her quilt?  :)

     This quilt was finished on 03/11/07 and plans are to deliver it to Brenda at the Dallas Quilt Show on 03/17.  What a gorgeous quilt!  It measures 78" x 90".
