It would be hard to think of another group that knows more about support
than quilters. We aren’t talking support hose and under wire bras here. No,
quilters know how to give deep, soul enriching love and support.Where
else can you go that you can show something you did, something you put
your heart, soul, and more than a little of yourself into and get a round of
applause and reinforcement?
It happens regularly at quilt guilds, bees, and shops. Sometimes those
people who are applauding you are your best friends, sometimes they are
complete strangers (though not for long).
Quilters also support many missions, making quilts for the tiniest preemies
to nursing home residents, for abused children and wounded soldiers, for
hurting families, and for celebrations. Quilters know how to show their love
and care, especially with fabrics and thread.ut many times they show their
support in other ways. Some quilters meet and make Prayer Quilts, adding
rayers while they stitch.Some quilters donate their cooking abilities, taking
meals to the sick or homebound. Some quilters donate their time to worthy
causes. Some donate their money. Some, like Alice, donate their physical
abilities, raising money and awareness for cancer research. You can read
all about Alice’s journey on page 3 of this newsletter. However you decide
to support someone, we applaud you—for your caring and our support. And
we hope you will remember that we are here to help support you—to
applaud your efforts and to help when needed. May you be blessed as you
bless others
Last year, Alice participated in a Century Ride for Team in
Training, raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
This year, on September 13 she will participate in the Nation’s
Triathlon in Washington D.C. Alice will swim 1 mile in the
Potomac, cycle 24 miles and run 6 miles. When asked why, Alice
said “because I can. There are so many patients who struggle on
a daily basis with medications and treatments.
They are not strong enough to fight for themselves, so I am
fighting for them.” Alice is training diligently to accomplish her
mission. Her goal is to raise $4500 for research and assistance
for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. If you would like to help
support Alice in this mission, you can make a check out to The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and bring it by the shop. Or you
may donate using a credit card at her online fundraising website
http://pages.teamintraining.org/stx/nattri09/aperez. She would
appreciate any donations by July 22, 2009. She also appreciates
your support in prayer as she works to accomplish her goal.
Together,
we can hope for a cure for Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma to
be found soon.
