Oh dear, yesterday i spent the day making up my blog page, and i kept reading all of your sweet posts as they came in, you guys had me in tears and smiling at the same time, got myself so over-excited that i had to take a happy pill! lol lol cus i had to calm down :) And Cathy and Terri, you two are too funny, Cathy says she has to buy one more ticket than you!!! LOL Just to beat you lol :) I feel like all of you are already part-owners of this quilt lol, cus you all helped me out so much from beginning to end :) and boy am i glad the end is done LOL. Well, the end isnt quite done lol, but for now it is. I'm going to make some lap quilts for hd patients too, but first i want to finish some projects i've had on the go and wanted to finish.
Beachlady, you asked about writing cheques in Canadian funds, and i wasnt sure lol, so now i understand it, and so this is what i came up with, and so i re-wrote it like this on my blog :)
If you live outside of Canada, please write Canadian Funds on your cheque. To do this, you just write Canadian Funds beside your dollar amount. How does this work? For instance, the Canadian Dollar is only worth about $.80 US right now. So if you are from the US, a cheque for $5.00, with Canadian Funds written on it, will give us $5.00 Canadian, but you will only have approx $4.00 taken out of your account. So by writing Canadian Funds on your cheque, it converts your money to the Canadian equivalent.
Awe, and thanks so much for asking everyone, you guys are the best!

You said you wanted to do one each year.... how about if (only a suggestion) board members made a block or two for you and then you could put them together - a sampler type quilt? You could pick the colors, the block patterns etc and we could help. Might even get more than one quilt in the process. Just a thought........
I also would love to purchase a ticket or four.

But you know what, the year that i'm not well enough to do it, i would sure love to call on my quilting friends to help me. But thank you so much :)
I love the idea of making lap robes for HD patients, here in town. I don't know if there's an HD clinic, but there might be a group here I can find. I would love to donate some quilts!

Awe, thank so much Melissa, and for the hugs too :) Oh i'm sure you can do it Melissa! :) I bet if you go to the hd forum and ask, someone will know where the hd centre of excellence is in your state. What i'm planning on doing is making lap quilts, and taking them into ubc for the hd social worker to give to people, she will know best you would like and need one the most. Or if there isnt a centre of excellence near you, i bet there is a local hd support group. Love you my friend (((hugs)))
