Hearts for Trevor

The back of the heart quilt will be log cabin , with the heart blocks quilted on the front when they are joined the quilt will be finished!

The request for hearts asked for them to be in blues and or yellow.

The reasoning for this is that Trevor that blue is the colour of the sky and the sea with yellow being the colour of the sun and the sand.

The variety of styles of hearts plus the different fabrics still stuns me.

The hearts also are a tangible, tactile way of receiving a cyberhug.

We had no idea that so many people would care enough to send hearts, very humbling.

To each and everyone go our heartfelt thanks.

The intention is to post photos of all the hearts here over the next week or so.

Currently the hearts etc are stored in these containers.

The pile of letters and cards with hearts for Trevor.

Have an album for storing the letters and cards but it will need something much larger than that.

These are the healing hearts that I have made to send this week, I find it very therapeutic to make them while thinking of the person each one is for.

one of the factors behind me reviving this blog is to get me in the habit of regular posting, to learn about uploading photos etc. so that I can blog/document the making of my son's healing heart quilt.

It had been my intention to have the quilt finished by May 2008, however when I visited the eye specialist last year and realised I could not read even the large single letter at the top of the chart I knew I had to stop sewing anything of importance, until there is improvement courtesy of surgery.

There are many hearts received for my son to be photographed.

Will make taking the photos my ongoing project for March.
