Title: New quilt for skat Post by verslagen1 on 03/28/12 at 18:15:36 Skat said the quilt kim gave her was a big comfort, besides being warm and comfy, it was a big hug from kim. Now she needs something a hundred times stronger. Kimmy has volunteered to put together another. How about we each give Kimmy a panel so she can have a hundred hugs all at once. Now I don't sew a lick, but I can get a T shirt with a pic on it, and cut the panel from it. Any other ideas? How big will the quilt need to be? |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by gerald.hughes on 03/28/12 at 21:34:10 Figure out what is needed, and provide an address of the quilter, and I will certainly send a patch. |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by verslagen1 on 03/28/12 at 21:48:12 This would be simple for a needle phobic bachelor like me. Cut it into a 1 foot square and 20 to 30 of us buy in to it... we got a quilt. http://static.sf-cdn.com/MD5=8de1a13c9d171db6a5c030dae704495c/default/images/store/loggedout/cross_promo/tshirt.jpg |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by babyhog on 03/29/12 at 05:35:48 First thing that came to mind is some "log cabin" squares I have done. Was planning a quilt with them, but shifted gears, so I would be honored to donate one or several. Actually I'd make new ones, in Pinks and (what other color) in her honor. And I would also be willing to help assemble. I'll get with Kimmy and see if she would like my assistance. like this: http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/stuff/temporary-15.jpg And here's one I just finished... King size bed! (not totally finished in the pic, edge binding wasn't done yet, but it is now!) http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/stuff/temporary-15-1.jpg |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by ALfromN.H. on 03/29/12 at 08:49:22 what size squares are you looing for? |
|
Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by verslagen1 on 03/29/12 at 09:02:08 depends on response. so far 6 have posted so at least 2 sq. feet each. I would like to see that get down 1 square foot or smaller. |
|
Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 03/29/12 at 10:04:39 Thank you all for your response to the request.. I would like to get started in the next couple weeks if all the squares are received by then. The size of the quilt will depend on how many squares I receive. Then of course I will add material as well. This is going to be a one of a kind quilt for a one of a kind gal. She has givien up so much. Now we can give her something to cuddle with and give her warmth from all of us. I am excited and honored to be doing this and can't wait to get started.. Shoot, guess I best get my own square made.. ;) :-* :-* :-* to you all.. kim |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by gerald.hughes on 03/29/12 at 16:18:24 So, where do we sent the squares? |

Or 2x5 with a border more or less 3x6 or so. If you want to donate some border material, padding and what-not... Kimmy let us know what you need. I'll cover shipping. |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 03/29/12 at 19:23:17 Alright here is my address... Kim Christian 71 NE Anchor Drive Belfair, Wa 98528 I ask that you attach your forum name with your panel so I can let you know it arrives. I thank you all for your panels and any other materials you wish to donate. Piglet, any panels you wish to send will be added to the quilt as well. I will take and post pics as I go along on this project from start to finish.. I would like the panels to have your pic along with your bike if that is possible.. If not then send the panel that your comfortable with. Thank you all again. Katherine is going to be so surprised and be surrounded by so much love... If your not sure how to transfer the pic onto a t-shirt. Go to Wal Mart or any craft store. They have the transfer paper to use for this project. Hugs and :-* :-* :-* :) kim |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by Boule’tard on 03/29/12 at 20:11:36 Random scraps comin' your way.. Mostly solids, one piece is a cool pattern, one is corduroy.. it won't hurt our feelings if you don't use them. But in the spirit of a quilt.. I bet some of them can fit SOMEwhere. ;D You're a darn good person, Kim. |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by ALfromN.H. on 03/30/12 at 08:56:51 The book keeper where I work(also my golfing buddy) is a quilter and she is gonna do something for me to send. I should have it ready in a couple days. AL |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 03/30/12 at 09:24:34 Soo I was thinking a square the size of 8x8 would make be a nice size. Now if your square comes out a little larger or smaller that is ok.. I can make it work either way.. With working full time nights, the gym, and Zumba, I may not get here to answer your questions right away.. If you want to e-mail me, here is my addy.. seakic@hotmail.com I will check in at least twice per day to see how things are progressing and answer questions should any of you have any. Thank you all once again for your generosity and support.. I am honored to be part of such a great group of people.. Hugs to all.. :-* :-* :-* kim |
|
Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by ALfromN.H. on 04/02/12 at 12:02:24 Kim, You should be getting a square from me in a couple days. I just put it in the mail. AL |
|
Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 04/02/12 at 13:14:33 Thanks Al, I will let you and all the others know when your squares arrive.. Btw, today I received an e-mail from Skat. She was lying down and had the "Hello Kitty" quilt on her. She keeps it with her and it travels to the hospital with her.. I do believe this new one will be traveling along with her as well... Hugs and take care.. :) kim |
|
Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by youzguyz on 04/02/12 at 13:45:34 Soo.. all you need is the top part of the square.. right? Not the filler or backing. OK, yeah, I'm an ignoramous when it comes to quilting. |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 04/02/12 at 20:48:43 Yes the square is the main concern right now. Once I receive the squares, I then can judge on how large of a quilt to make. If I was to receive enough squares, I could place some on the back as well as the front.. O and Boule'tard, I received yours today.. Thanks and hugs to all.. :) kim |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by babyhog on 04/06/12 at 09:07:03 Sorry to be so slow, my local post office's hours are horrible. But I think I will get my package mailed this afternoon. |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 04/06/12 at 10:29:34 Thanks Piglet, I will let you know when it arrives. Star, quilt fund is ok for now. Main thing we are needing are the squares or blocks.. :) kim |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 04/07/12 at 19:49:16 Thumperclone, your t-shirt arrived today.. Very cool... Would you rather I send it to her along with the quilt, rather than cut it up to make it part of the quilt? Seems like too cool of a shirt to cut up.. She may enjoy wearing it while snuggling in the quilt.. Just an idea. Let me know as can do either one.. Thanks again for your contribution.. :) kim |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 04/09/12 at 20:38:52 Received Piglet's beautiful blocks today.. She also sent some pretty pink fabric which I will place in the quilt. Thanks gal, beautiful work you do.. Hugs. :) kim |

Glad you got it. Use any of it as you see fit. I found those pieces of pink in the pieces that my mother left me when she moved (a whole friggin' cabinet full!) and she is 9+ year survivor of breast cancer, so I thought her fabric would be fitting. |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 04/11/12 at 17:57:17 Youzguyz, your wife made a beautiful block. Thank you both.. I received it today. It will be a nice addition to Skat's quilt.. Hugs.. :) kim |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 04/12/12 at 16:37:56 I am going to get started next Monday on the quilt. I will start firs by cutting out the blocks from those of you that sent t-shirts, with the exception of Thumperclones. His shirt will be sent along with the quilt for Katherine to wear as a night shirt. I will start a new post and keep it updated with pics as well as the progress as it goes. I thank you all once more for your contributions. :-* :-* :-* kim |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by WD on 04/23/12 at 15:20:38 I'll check my stash o'stuff and see what I can come up with. I know I have a couple HUGE pieces of trade blanket that will never get used for anything around here. If I remember right they are a blush pink and other pastels. Was going to use them as seat underlayment in one of my antique trucks (or SCA cloaks, can't remember) but if you can use them, I'll send them. Also have a couple yards of the black cordura type material that motorcycle soft bags are made from. Protective casing during shipment? Let me know. And I'll try to find my favorite motorcycle shirt and send it your way to cut a square out of. I've had it for 15 years, nice and soft, perfect for a quilt panel. |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 04/24/12 at 07:58:17 WD, that sound good. I accept and will use whatever you send. Thanks for your offer and contribution in advance. As far as Katherine's health. It is not the best, she is a trooper though. She has a rough and long road ahead of her. She is going to be surprised and surrounded by all of us with this quilt.. So let's all get out and enjoy the heck out of our lives and bikes.. Remember we ride for those that aren't able to.. :-* :-* :-* kim |
|
Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by WD on 04/24/12 at 14:58:37 I'll start digging them out. Could take a day or two to find everything... been here for over a year and still haven't finished unpacking the trucks, let alone the stuff stashed in the cabs... ;D |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by WD on 05/09/12 at 16:18:06 You're welcome. Should be about 4 yards total in the box. |
|
Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by kimchris1 on 05/10/12 at 11:14:06 WD thanks so much for your large contribution. I may take and sew the bandana onto a panel from the dark material. I thought it might stand out better that way. Thank you and hugs to Lisa as well.. :) kim |
|
Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by WD on 05/10/12 at 16:02:59 Every ride for the last 16 years involving that bandana went off without a hitch. Figured it would bring her some much needed luck. That bandana saw me on rides on MS, TN, AR, KY, AL, FL and WA. And the Rebel biker skulls kinda look like me... ;) And since Skat IS a Southern historic re-enactor... Whatever is left over is yours to do with as you see fit. Figured the trade blanket material might make you an easy core layer. |

Title: Re: New quilt for skat Post by Southpaw on 05/11/12 at 15:48:11 I sent my shirt this morning. Postal worker said figure 2-3 days. |
