Take a Stand With A Quilt

It's been tough being an NFL fan lately.   All the bad news about players abusing women and kids.   How can I continue to love the game on Sunday, yet go into court on Monday and represent a victim of DV?   Partly by remembering, that it is only a percentage of players doing this and not even a majority of them.   Partly by quilting.   Quilting can heal.   The AIDS quilt is probably the best known modern example of using the act of quilting to heal and remember.   But quilting itself is quite therapeutic, plus who doesn't love snuggling under a nice warm quilt when sick or just feeling blue?

So I made a quilt.   It's purple because that's the color for domestic violence awareness.   I put butterflies and stars in it for hope.   DV victims can get help.   They can be protected.



It's being auctioned off on EBay with 100% of the sale price goes to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.   Please visit, bid, spread the word, ask questions, help.  

Thank you.
