I missed that too. I'll go back to check on that. But since I do Project Linus I guess I'll continue that.

It was libster's address in Emerald, Queenland, Autralia, now how did I remember that and all you young ones forgot it? HaHa

Whoever posted the suggestion tmbache, put their address on the post, but unfortunately I couldn't find it with a quick sweep today, and I've forgotten who posted. Aren't I dreadful. Sorry I can't help more, sweetie, hugs and a flower.

I just went back through the pages trying to find the question. I gave up after page 51.

I do recall they did it for "The Linus Project" because I was with a quilt group that sent a couple/few there too. But, was someone going to organize something? Did I miss that part? Or, were we just to send them the finished quilts ourselves? *4all

Here I am, I know it all disappeared. would love to get some squares from you all. We decided on pre-washed 100% cotton, 8x8 inches square. I thought I would go for a theme or design that the stitcher would think suitable for a 10-13 year old, and send to ronald Mcdonald house for kids that have long distances to travel for medical care that is only available in the city and they have to come from rural areas where medical care is limited. I'm not going to restrict your imagination. Remeber to put your name and location, as I think it would make it special for a sick child to know that strangers from all over are thinking of them. I would like to do one for a boy and one for a girl.
Send to 116 Hospital Road, Emerald, Queensland, Australia, 4720. I don't mind posting address, you girls just don't seem to be the letter bomb, anthrax powder posting types. and even if you were, would you really leave Q&A for that????? look forward to sqaures in the mail.

Just think - if each of us that are regulars here did one and sent them to libster she would have enough for a few quilts, I bet.

dlonnahawkins, feel free to send me a block. And if anyone else wants to volunteer a bit of time to do one in another country or state of Australia, that would be great, I would be happy to send some work. I hope this time someone actually sends me something in the mail. by the way, has tmbache read any of this yet? What country is she from, maybe she is asleep.

Just got on awhile ago was looking for this post.Knew there was a lot of ideas being tossed around but nothing set in stone at that time. then was off interenet for awhile. now i know i will get some 100% cotton and see what I can do for you. Probable a couple of weeks before I can send them out. I'll post here to you when I do. Now I have the info written down and thanks to all. P.S. no I'm not asleep yet but I do leave my house a 6 am and get home around 5 in evening and I did have to work today. I'm from Maine the good old U.S.A.
