I do have colour.

Last night our two dear friends lost everything they own in a house fire. They managed to escape with the clothes on their backs. They lived in a local (Newcastle) community of creatives, musicians, artists. They started the local Commons Cafe, a venue for creative groups, bands, or individuals to meet, collaborate, listen, read. And everyone lost everything, instruments, craft stash, books, photos, but thankfully, no one was hurt.

My last post was about the comfort found in a quilt. And today I've been thinking. I don't have money to replace their clothes or instruments or, at the moment, the capacity to fund raise. I do have some colour. And a bunch of friends from all over the world. And when I thought of making them a quilt, I thought a beautiful gift would be an eclectic mix of squares from all around the place. Could you help me?

I would love to collect a big bunch of 5" squares to make a new bed quilt for Tim and Caitlin. They love music, upcycled and all things Scandinavian.

Could you spare a square? If so, can you please send it to:

Thank you, thank you, for your help to bring some colour and comfort. Please share this with your friends!
