This year I was the winner of this gorgeous quilt that was pieced and quilted by Judy Laquidara and so generously donated to Katy's Hope. I'll tell you -- the tears were flowing as I opened the box and read the lovely card from Dana, Katy's mother.
I made a decision tonight that my donations, as big or as small as they may be this year, will be to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I will contact Peri to thank her for the quilt, and to also ask her for a good link for donations that I will make throughout the year. I'll come back in and add that link when I get it.
EDIT: The link is Katy's Great Strides.
I sincerely hope that everyone reading this blog, and who will go to Peri's blog and watch the video of Katy, will find it in their hearts to make a donation. Only through funding for research will this horrible disease be wiped off the face of the earth!
Judy, thank you also for donating this absolutely stunning quilt! You have a wonderful heart!

Congratulations! :)
I fortunate for you - what a lovely idea. Peri's granddaughter is beautiful.
Please share the link with me. I'd love to find out how I could go about donating a quilt for them to raffle and raise money for this wonderful cause. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Hi, Vicki, I haven't really fallen off the earth, I am still hanging in there, just not to fast at getting things done lately. Thank you for the lovely comments on my grandchild and daughter; they are both pretty special. I have contacted Dana about the links for you and will give her a couple of days before I harrass her, lol. Donations are always welcome for CF and it would be wonderful of vickiebellino to donate a quilt as a fundraiser. I will get in touch with her and see what she has in mind. The quilt is truly beautiful and I am so glad it finally arrived. I will blog soon I hope. Lots of hugs!!
Judy made such a pretty and luminous quilt--you are a lucky lady indeed to get to enjoy it forever. Your heartfelt directed donation decision will surely be appreciated.
