    This is a quilt that was made and donated to child with brain cancer. The blocks were generously made and sent to me from wonderful ladies all over the world. Lots of love and time went into this. It could not have been possible without the loving hands and hearts that helped me. Every stich is precious. The labels were also custom made and donated.

    The larger - Red, White, and Blue quilt is to be auctioned or raffled to help with his medical bills. The smaller one is for Jacob's personal use.

    The medical team for Jacob holds events throughout the year to raise money. I hope this will help with some of the expenses.

    I have not gotten word yet if the quilt has been sold....Will post the information as soon as I get it. I have requested pics of the auction and Jacob with his quilt...as soon as I get those will also post them.

    I cannot thank everyone enough who participated in this project. My heart was touched by the generousity of everyone involved. I know every hand that made a stitch in this quilt will be truely blessed. God Bless All Of You!

    If you have any questions or want further updates on this....Please feel free to contact me. I will gladly share any info I have or will get in the future.

    UPDATE #1:
    I just got word that Jacobs team has been talking over just how to sale the quilt.
    They are considering an auction on Ebay! How exciting....We could watch it go.....see how much it brings....I am very excited about this!
    Pics are coming and will keep you posted when I get the final word on what they have decided!!!
    Yahoooooo!!
