This weekend, I was planning on working on my sister Eleanor's red quilt...
...and sewing the sashing onto the Civil War blocks...
... and even making my newly re-geared machine a dust cover, like the one Crafty Vegas Mom recently made...
...but sometimes, plans change suddenly.
Ever heard of Myelodysplastic Syndrome? Until yesterday, I hadn't... but the 8 year old grandson of a good friend and coworker has been recently diagnosed with MDS, which is very rare in children. In most instances, the only cure for children with MDS is a stem cell transplant.
Two of my grandchildren are Mary's grandson's age... and my heart breaks for her and her entire family... what can I do to help other than pray?
So... weekend plans have changed and I have challenged myself to make Alexander a quilt so I can mail it to him on Monday! I've selected the Quick Strippie quilt pattern.

I went by my local quilt shop after work yesterday and picked up these fabrics...
along with Moda Bella solid in Royal...
...and this morning, it's off to the quilting races!
