I offered to do a label, can someone let me know what we need to include on it? I can do a label on muslin and include it with my block, if I know what to put on it. Thanks, to everyone that is working on this. This is the first project I have gotten involved with.

This project is also close to getting to it's completion.

zfatcat/Lori has received the top and soon this 'EL's Angels' quilt project will be send to it's final destination.

Good Job All who were able to participate, and ALL who send prayers and/or good thoughts for this well-deserving El's Angels who is going to be receiving this quilt.

I can make blocks, and I can sew blocks together. Would need to send on to someone to quilt it. I could supply sashing and border, would be nice for a few $ contribution toward them, along with the blocks.

I don't know the person's colors, but a suggestion as to block is to have everyone make their favorite block in the specified colors. That way everyone doesn't have to learn or "try out" an unfamiliar block. I think it goes faster if everyone chooses their own block to make and the quilt will really be a work of art from everyone.

But, I'm open, I'll go along with the majority.

thanks for starting this, T. hugs, carol/kittyquilt

I will make blocks, as many as you need me to make... I will send $$ for sashing or whatever is needed

great thinking Tul.... Just let me know about the colors and/or what block to make...

Chriss

I checked the swap list... her favorite colors are..... soft pastel country colours....

she likes fossil ferns batiks....

Susanna, I would be more than happy to make a couple of blocks for the quilt. Don't know at this time how much I could contribute as far as $$ go, but could try when the time comes. Please let me know.

me

I will gladly pay for shipping when that time comes if someone will just tell me how much and who to send to.

Thank You So Much "T"

Hugs

Looks like a good start ladies. Whatever you need, I can do. Just let me know. Lori

I am doing way too many things, so this time I would gladly provided the backing. Just have to tell me what color.

T, I can do an embroidered label or blocks or contribue $$$.

Please count me in!! I can certainly do blocks and/or sew together a top. I can't quilt unless you wanted it tied. Can contribute $ toward ancillary.

Thank you "T" for getting this started.

Maggie

I can make blocks and contribute a few $$. Just let us know what and where!
