I am Alison from over at KidsQuilts. My son was in the hospital and we just got home on the weekend. I think I am back in the swing of things now.I have a lovely young lady who has a brother who has spent over 6 months of the past year in the hospital. I believe she would be the perfect match for your quilt.......if you have not already found a home. Please email me if it still needs a loving home! <BR/><BR/>boettcher6@telus.netAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04686904967041792359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-62315025963869098252008-06-28T13:39:00.000-05:002008-06-28T13:39:00.000-05:00Hi Jacquie, you've received so many great ideas bo...Hi Jacquie, you've received so many great ideas both about the quilt and your headache. I get migraines sometimes although much less in the past couple of years. When I find one beginning I take extra-strength Advil gelcaps made specifically for migraines, and sometimes some coffee helps, but once it gets going, it takes a few Advil to get rid of the pain although the sluggishness that always accompanies migraines when I get them, never goes regardless of what I do.<BR/>I think your quilt is beautiful - I love purple - even have a purple kitchen and hallway. I'm sure any of the mentioned charities would be very happy to receive it. I've thought of making quilts for children in hospital who have terminal illnesses or who are fighting cancer - something special just for them. <BR/>All the best, and I hope your headache disappears soon.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659120990183500384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-4844699706142725192008-06-28T10:35:00.000-05:002008-06-28T10:35:00.000-05:00You quilt is so beautiful...you might want to 'giv...You quilt is so beautiful...you might want to 'give' it to a favorite women's shelter etc...for them to use/display?????Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380691069033045310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-18734401112794508002008-06-28T05:29:00.000-05:002008-06-28T05:29:00.000-05:00Sorry about the migraine.

My daughter, who has congenital heart disease, is 34 and was just in the hospital and received a quilt from Project Linus. Since she has congenital disease she is always on a pediatric floor, even at the age of 34. She also quilts. As a matter of fact she just received a quilt from you in a give away. Anyways, she really appreciated the quilt while she was so sick. I am also sure if you have a give away many of us will join in.countrychickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040928485349748590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-3487878498391037362008-06-27T19:51:00.000-05:002008-06-27T19:51:00.000-05:00I think this quilt is beautiful, but then again pu...I think this quilt is beautiful, but then again purple used to be my favorite color before green took its place.

I get them too and can't take a thing for them so I usually end up in bed with a hot rice thingy on my head! <BR/><BR/>As for the quilt - having been a recipient of one from Project Linus, I am all for that! I have one that I have to get to my local donation site. I want to give back since they gave to me in my difficult time.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15870902989809812248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-69460832384743814842008-06-27T16:29:00.000-05:002008-06-27T16:29:00.000-05:00I hope you feel better now Jacquie!

The church I am working for has a Peace Auction every July of handmade goodies (I'm trying to decide if I have enough time to make a twin sized quilt for it) and all the funds raised go for disaster relief here in the USA - we are hoping to raise $10,000 to help out farmers in Iowa this year - we always cherish the homemade quilts that come in because they are so special (and incidently our district colors are blues and purples) and people love snatching them up.<BR/>Hope you're feeling better,<BR/>KrisQuiltedSimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17125600585948205404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-60381822132974817062008-06-27T09:24:00.000-05:002008-06-27T09:24:00.000-05:00Jacquie, hope the migraine has broken.

My head still feels very sore and tender today, like someone took a baseball bat to it. I hope you recover soon. Migraines are awful!<BR/><BR/>I love the colors of your quilt.

(The kind you have to give ID for and buy at the pharmacy to make sure you don't have a meth lab in your basement...) Anyway, often one pill will work, but for one like you're having now, I take two immediately. I hope you have the same luck with it. It's a pretty cheap fix. (My doctor recommended trying this before prescription stuff and I never needed to get the prescription.)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04080238932883576779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-6853831207631604862008-06-26T22:07:00.000-05:002008-06-26T22:07:00.000-05:00I would say either donate it or give it away.
