get well soon, Ghostie

[rhubarbodendron]

As many of the older members may have noticed, Ghost07 has been afk for quite a while now.
She has very serious problems with her hands so that she can't type anymore (at least atm). As you can imagine, she's very frustrated and depressed because this way she loses all contact with her online friends.
So I thought we could perhaps cheer her up by posting greetings, best wishes, get well soons etc here. Every week I'll print them and snail mail them to her.
If you'd like me to relay more personal messages, for example audio or video messages, you can mail them to me (rhubarb *at* sdg3.com) and I'll burn them on CD for her.

And another idea struck me: how about making a friendship quilt for her? This way she'd have a bit from each of us and at the same time it'd be something useful.
Those who can't sew could send a bit of cloth to those who can and pick a pattern - there are gazillions online; just google for "patchwork blocks". This way we ought to be able to get enough blocks for a nice single bed spread (we'll need 12 to 24, depending on their size).
Any woven cotton would work as long as it's thick enough to not be transparent, either a piece of newly bought cloth or scraps left from other sewing projects or bits of a good quality shirt/skirt/dress you don't wear anymore (no jersey, please: it stretches too much).
I volunteer for assembling the squares.
How about it, folks?

That's too bad . Hope she gets well soon.

That's a great idea!

I'm very sorry to hear that. She's been missed around here. I wish her the best and hope they can find the right combination of medications or other treatments to help her get the use of her hands back and otherwise improve her health so she can get back here posting again ASAP.

I've never had the pleasure of meeting Ghost07, but she has my deepest sympathies and warmest thoughts. I do hope she is not suffering for long and that she can recover. Please take care Ghost07.

I'm a quilter and have several blocks I can send, just give me an address. All cotton and cotton blend fabrics in different sized blocks in inches. Or, I can put together some blocks to order. Let me know the patterns, colors, size, etc. Glad to help out.

So sorry to hear that Ghost07 is having problems with her hands. I really hope she is able to make a quick and full recovery, and is able to get back to the activities she enjoys as soon as possible. Sending her all my very best wishes!

I'm not a quilter (sorry), but that sounds like a lovely idea.
