MS Fund Raiser Quilt

All done, including edging...

The fund raiser in Regina for my friend JS is a huge success. Her family is trying to raise enough money to pay for the trip to send JS and her sister (who will look after her) to Bulgaria for the angioplasty surgery on the neck veins leading to the brain which is called Liberation Treatment.  Research shows that it has helped a large number of Ms sufferers.

We drove to Regina on the weekend to attend her steak night/ silent auction and to deliver the quilt I made for her auction. It was fun and I enjoyed meeting her family again and some of her close friends, some of whom also have MS. Saskatchewan has the highest incidence of MS per capita of any province in Canada and Canada itself has one of the highest levels of MS in the world. My friend JS is hoping that the liberation treatment will improve, if not eliminate her symptoms.

They are having a fund raiser golf tournament tomorrow, but we are not attending that. (Eight hours is too long of a drive to do again so soon.)
We are holding JS in our thoughts and prayers and wish her all the best when she leaves for Bulgaria this Friday.

Pinning on the edging to finish the quilt

JS's quilt top is finished, minus the edge. This is a sawtooth pattern called 'Pink Lemonade" in The American Patchwork and Quilting magazine April 2009
