You Are Needed to Make a Heart Block

Please make a healing heart quilt block for Myra who is battling cancer right now in New Zealand. Her friend Karen Jones says it will be a big encouragement for Myra to receive heart blocks in the mail from us. Karen should know. When she had cancer all her quilting buddies made the blocks for the quilt shown above. Karen is doing well now, and this quilt is a very special keepsake. (By the way, Myra made three of the blocks in Karen's quilt.)

Here are the details. Blocks should be applique heart(s) on a 6 1/2" square background of white on white, or cream on cream. Any applique method is okay, and if you like, any kind of embellishment is fine too. Please write your name on the front of the block, and your country (or state) too. That could be written in pen or embroidered. The hearts should be pastel shades of pink, blue, or purple. Or floral prints in any of these colors. When you're ready to mail your block, email Karen Jones to get Myra's address: karen_jones@xtra.co.nz. (There's a _ between Karen and Jones.)

So, all hands on deck! Hup, hup! I'm going to make one. I'll show you when it's done. I'll add your block photos to this post too, and put a link in the sidebar so we can follow our progress.
