A New House for Jeaneane!

Remember the photos of Jeaneane’s home after the Joplin tornado hit?

Jeaneane’s family is rebuilding in the same location.   Where there was once devastation a new home now stands waiting for a brick front…

And the inside of the home waits for paint, flooring and final touches…

I can’t imagine how excited Jeaneane must be!  Her new home is so close to completion.

One of her housewarming gifts will be a box filled with quilt blocks that you’ve made.   Here are a few of the blocks I’ve received so far…

I think Jeaneane is going to be excited when she sees all the blocks and she’ll love them even more knowing that they’re from such caring quilters.

If you haven’t made her a block yet you have until December 10th.   Send a 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ unfinished block to me.  You’ll find my address on my website.

If you’re having trouble making a 8 1/2″ unfinished block try a 12 1/2″ unfinished block.

For each block you make your name will be entered to win one of the following prizes…

1.  9″ x 12″ Artograph LightPad with Led Illumination.

or

2.  A fat eighth bundle of Moda Puzzle Pieces (100 fat eighths).

Someone’s going to win one of these prizes.  Just make Jeaneane a block and it could be you!

Have a great Monday everyone!  Back soon!

Hugs,

Anne

    I have two blocks going in our mail tomorrow. I do hope that if they don’t get to you for the deadline you set to give her the blocks, that you will still be able to pass them on to her. I think it is great that you have organized this and I am sure Jeaneane will appreciate them.

    So great to see such a transformation after such devastation, how wonderful for you all, hope you will be in for Christmas, Christchurch is just rebuilding after the earthquakes they have endured.
    There is so much sadness but great joy too along with wonderful memories.
    Good Luck Jeanane from New Zealand.
