Go See Monica's Quilt
The ClubHouse: Archives: Go See Monica's Quilt
Llkoolaid | Friday, March 29, 2002 - 09:59 pm     This is probably not the place for this but since no one except my post today has posted in the quilt thread since Feb 5 I thought I would let everyone who is interested know that a picture of it is posted. You can get there by reading Fly's post but you probably should read Gail's instructions because it doesn't come up unless you backspace on the web address. A list will come up and when you click on monicasquilt it will come up. It is beautiful. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 02:32 pm     Llkoolaid, perhaps you could put a new link to it here? AND Gail's intstructions? |

Oregonfire | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 03:00 pm     If you take the .jpg off the end, it shows up just fine. A beautiful quilt...very nice! |

Moondance | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 03:10 pm     well I tired... but you can kind of see it |
Llkoolaid | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 04:16 pm     Thanks Moondance, I wouldn't have a clue how to put a link here and a picture would be impossible for a computer idiot like me. When you go to the site you can get a real close look at it and make out all the individual squares. I love it. |
Gail | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 04:17 pm     That is beautiful!! |
Tess | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 04:43 pm     Oh, that's wonderful. Thanks for helping us see it LL and Moon. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 07:30 pm     Thanks a bunch, Moon. That picture works just fine here. LLkoolaid, here is the simplest way to put a link here. If you don't know how to do anything else, this will work fine. While you are on the page you want to share, go up there where it says Address (the http or www place) and right click in the box. It will probably pop up a menu, and one of the options will be Copy. Choose Copy. Then come over here and type your message. When you want to insert the link, right click again. That will probably give you an option to Paste. Choose Paste. That will put the copied address in your message. Voila! You have done a link! Jujumasterofsimplestuffdawg

Urgrace | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 09:01 pm     The quilt is so nice. I wish I had been here to help out. When will she get it? <btw, I never did hear, did she lose her cousin(?)> |
Spygirl | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 11:19 pm     Yes, her cousin is among the missing. |
Angelnikki | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 05:46 pm     that is so nice. Beautiful. when does Monica get it or has she received it yet? |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 08:26 pm     I think it is now in the hands of someone who does machine quilting as a business and they are going to do it when they get the chance. That was in February and I don't think Fly has it back yet because I am sure they would have said if it was. Anyway Flyonthewall is going to send it to Monica as soon as it is finished. |
Sia | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 09:00 pm     You all did a beautiful job. I especially love that you chose a red/white/blue theme; it really unifies the quilt. I am sure Monica will appreciate the love and thought and work that went into this project. Congratulations on a job well done, and it was a sweet gesture to make her a gift; hand-made gifts are more special, I believe, than store-bought ones. |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, April 06, 2002 - 04:55 am     It's great. I'd love those responsible to tell us its full story. |
Moondance | Saturday, April 06, 2002 - 09:39 am     My square is in the lower right hand corner... it is pinkish with Native American silver charms and it says Love & Light I wasn't responsible just donated a square... I hope Fly can come back soon and post, she did all the work of organizing etc...) |
Egbok | Sunday, April 07, 2002 - 05:32 pm     Monica's quilt is gorgeous! Moonie, I saw your square - VERY NICE!! Juju, thanks for your instructions - you are Jujugreatinstructorofsimplestuffdawg. |
Flyonthwall | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 01:36 pm     HI all!!! Moondance, saw your link to this section...I generally post all my updates, comments here: ../10972/21187.html?1018446468 If you want you can go read what I've posted there, but basically it's this in a nut shell: 1: The quilt is being professionally quilted on the mechines at this time. "Joleigh" and "Joe" her darling hubby, moved their quilting business so they are just now getting set up and rolling again. I talked to here last week 4-3, and she was really trying to get it going. They have been so swamped with business and the move. 2: The top peice in the photo above was beautifully peiced together by our very own "Shoofly". After the disaster of the ...other person...not doing it after she said she did.....ANYHOW.... It's now done! Shoofly came though with flying colors and choose the beautiful border materials!!! Three cheers!!!!! 3: Just as soon as "Joleigh" finishes the quilt she is shipping it to Monica with all the info on our site and the folks letters and cards etc. (Not to me, just right on to Monica). 4: I spoke to Monica shortly after they got out of the house but not since then. I called her once but she wasn't in and did not return my call. I did not want to become a nuicence so I have not called again. (Plus I have personal things going on too.) 5: The quilt is going to be finished soon and I or Shoofly or Joleigh WILL NOTIFY YOU ALL HERE or on the boards somewhere. So do not dispare! Like I said in my post on the other one, things move slow, but I truly believe God is directing this. It takes time to heal and maybe if we'd finished the quilt sooner it would have been "too soon" for Monica in her pain you know? So hang in there please and don't think we have forgot any of you! You are all so special for taking time to do all this. There are so many places to post up-dates that I miss so many and I am sorry. I try to get the word out as best I can. My health, which was an issue while BB2 was on-going is a major problem now. So I can't get on here as much as I would like to. But I have complete faith and trust in Joleigh and Shoofly to see this project though to completition. It hurts me to have to let it go to others and I feel I'm dumping it on them after doing the organizing and they/you all did all the work....but life don't work out like we want it sometimes. So keep hanging on and we'll let you know soon I pray, that the quilt is on the way! Thanks again for everyones interest and love and hard work to make this happen. I do believe we have the greatest group of folks here and that is why even with out the bozo's that come and go in the BB2 house, the one's here in our Clubhouse are the BEST!!!!!! Love and God Bless, Flyonthwall...aka...Bobbi PS...due to health problems, the Monica website has had to come down. Broke my heart but I couldn't keep it up. I know you all understand. :-) |
Flyonthwall | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 01:47 pm     Dang even after that long winded post I forgot to say that, if you want to know something about the quilt you may email me...but I don't get on the computer everyday. All I know I've already posted. Sometimes I check mail each week. So it may take a while for me to answer but I will reply to each one I promise, if I'm able. I have Lupus, and a new diagnosis of MS to go with it. Now my brain is going hokey pokey on me and I can't think clearly. Swelling in my brain, muscles not working...you know stupid stuff. Things are not going well for me at all right now nor does there appear to be a "better" time for me ahead. I have to much time to spend on medications and out of it in bed and not enough for fun here with you all that's for sure! So I can't come out and play as much as I would like to. Nor can I sit at the computer as much either. So please know that The MONICA quilt project will NOT be dropped just because of me. There are others who know my situation and are doing everything in their power to make it happen for us. It's just going to take a little time. Please forgive me for takeing on all this and then letting you all down and not being here to see it through. But it has done my heart good to see the love in people who don't even know each other reach out in such a kind way. sorry to dribble...stupid pain med's just keep me rambling and boo-hooing...... Love ya all,miss you terribly..... Fly |
Car54 | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 01:54 pm     Fly, I did not post much during BB2, but I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading your comments and posts. I am so sorry to hear of your health problems. My dad had MS and suffered terribly...(this was in the days when they knew little or nothing about the disease). Please take care of yourself. Stress is a huge factor in both illnesses you have. This must be a very scary time for you. I am glad you have good support in your life, that is so important. I am a quilter, and I really enjoyed seeing the picture of the quilt and reading your story. I can't imagine how surprised and pleased Monica will be when she receives your beautiful gift. I hope you will be able to come back and check in with us. I for one was really glad to see a post from you. |
Tksoard | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 02:21 pm     {{{Fly}}} So sorry to hear about your health problems!! Just sit back and relax during this BB and just read with us. Please stay strong, and keep in touch. OK? We Will Miss you!!!  |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 02:28 pm     Fly, thank you so much for checking in with the status of the quilt as well as how you are doing. I am sad to hear of the changes in your health. I'm bettind that everyone here will be thinking of you and hoping for the very best. With BB3 just around the corner, I hope you are able to watch and enjoy the show you helped us keep in touch with when you were doing the live feed posts. Hang in there as best you can Fly. I hope you are able to check in on the board once in awhile, and enjoy the show with your TVCH friends. You help to make this place great. |
Moondance | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 02:34 pm     So glad you found it, Fly! Miss you and please feel better |
Egbok | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 05:50 pm     Fly, Thank you for all you've done and continue to do. Keep positive thoughts going for your medical conditions. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. |
Sunshinemiss | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 10:02 pm     (((Fly))) Nobody here would EVER think any less of you for having to take care of your health issues over a philanthropic effort. I admire your being able to do as much as you were able. If it is too difficult to post, at least lurk around...I will include you in my prayers, and thank you for all that you did give to everyone here last summer. |
