Almost 1 year ago I decided to do something for a friend, It was so amazing and I am still in awe of all the donations and money and toys/books/pillows/journals ect that we dropped off at Children's hospital. Specifically to the children of B tower.
I am going to be having another auction and I will be looking for donations :) hint hint to all of my great friends :)
This is the note I wrote to start off last years auction.
This blanket was just made, but it is almost 5 years in the making. Approx 5 years ago I met the beautiful curly haired Mom of two beautifully curly haired twin girls. I made her a blanket for each of her girls. One was the white/pink ballet slippers and the other was the pink/pink ballet slippers. I was recently cleaning out my fabric stash and I found a meter of the white/pink ballet slippers and 1/2 a meter of the pink/pink ballet slippers. I was SO shocked and surprised when I found this fabric.
A couple of years later I made 2 rag quilts for these same beautiful twin girls. I made them as a comfort item, you see one of those twin was diagnosed with cancer :( such an awful disease and it eventually took her life :( We are nearing the 2 year anniversary of the day Sophia earned her wings.
I thought about what I was going to do with this special fabric, was I going to save it for my own grandkids (some day in the far off future) ? was I going to make a quilt and sell it.
I contacted Sophia's Mom and asked her if I could auction off this quilt in Sophia's honour. I was so happy when she gave me the okay :)
I am going to auction off this special "Sophia Quilt" and donate the money or toys to B tower at London's Children's hospital. I don't want the money to go to equipment or supplies. I want to either buy some special toys or donate it to Child Life to buy things they see a need for Childcan is another organization that helps the individual families directly. I want a child to benefit from this.
This blanket is made of soft flannel and is a rag quilt measuring approx 45 x 45 "
So please bid on this Special 'Sophia' Rag Quilt.
Please share this note and lets raise some funds in honour of Sophia
I am going to keep this auction up and going until June 20th at 9pm.
Bids can be in $2. increments.
If you are interested in donating an item or service to this years auction I would greatly appreciate it. :)
