It’s the end of April, so it must be time once again for another Ovarian Cancer quilt to fire up.
As usual, I’m sending out my call to action for all the quilters out there. Every year, we collaborate on the creation of a fundraising quilt in aid of Ovarian Cancer. In case you’re new round here, I come up with a name and a concept, and am joined in the making of blocks to fit into this design by those who’ve been with us from the start, have joined along the way or who are contributing for the first time. The Ovarian Cancer colours are teal and cream, and the blocks fit the theme but can be in your choice of construction, design and fabric.
Below is a list of those who have confirmed they’re contributing, or who have already expressed interest but not confirmed their participation yet. If you’re interested in joining, leave me a comment or email me if you already have my email address, and I will send you the brief and timeline. If you’ve previously said yes but can’t now do it, also please let me know. We need 30 blocks, and I will make up any shortfall myself. Even if you can only make one or two, your help is greatly appreciated.
Your contribution will be acknowledged on the quilt label. I develop the design, quilt everything and assemble the quilt. All you have to do is send me one or more 12½ inch (unfinished) quilt block(s) in the mail, using the colours and themes specified in the brief I will send out. I hope you will feel able to join us.
