A Quilt for my Honoree, Lucas!!!


I'm really excited about this...I know you will be too!

If you're here, you know I'm raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and running in the Nike Women's Marathon but, if you don't, you do now. Most of you know I'm a seamstress too. Read on...

There is a local little boy named Lucas Tate that I am honoring with my 26.2 mile run. (For those of you who know Mrs. Tate in the office at Colombia Elementary School, this ...is her grandson.) I want to make Lucas a quilt. Here's my plan:

I'm going use the Team In Training colors: White, purple and teal. I will embroider the Team In Training Logo on one quilt square and "I ran 4 u" with my name embroidered underneath it on another square. Here's where you come in. For a $10 donation (to LLS) I will embroider your name on a square underneath, "I donated 4 u."

The deadline for you $10 donation is: Monday, September 20th, 2010.

Here's what you need to provide me:

1) A $10 donation (cash, check to LLS, or online donation to my fundraising page.)

2) Your name or family name to be embroidered (i.e. John Doe, The Smith Family.)

3) Your address and phone # (in case I have any questions...and for "thank you's!" If you do an online donation, you enter your info there...and e-mail is generated to me with that info.

You can visit my fundraising box on this blog.  Click on 'donate' to get involved!

If you'd like to make your donation by cash or check, give me a call.

Let's make this an amazing tribute to Lucas and his battle with Leukemia!!! The complete cost of the quilt will be covered by me...it is a gift. All of the donations will go to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!

Thank you!

  1. You are amazing Carolyn!!! I LOVE this idea. All I can keep thinking about is how wonderful this quilt is going to be for Lucas. And even though he is so little now and won't remember the incredible journey he has been through. He will have such an awesome gift that will remind him and all of us of all of the amazing family and friends who have been there for him and us along the way :)
