Busy Bee

What does a long distance phone call, some shared emails, Harley-Davidson, Pea Ridge Baptist Church and t-shirts have in common?

I got a text from Aunt Leigh Ann wanting to know if I would like to make some t-shirt quilts. Of course, did she even have to ask. Then I get some Face Book emails asking me the same thing. The answer, yes again. Then my life took a little turn and I ran into a new friend, Karen.

A few years ago Karen and her family lost a 9 year old child to an inoperable brain tumor. But out of that horrible event a lot of positive is taking place. Each year in the spring there is a Harley Ride that focuses on raising money for a chosen family...one who has a loved one undergoing cancer treatment. 100% of the proceeds go to the family to help with medical expenses. The ride concludes with an auction and some other activities. This year I will be making as many t-shirt quilts as I can from the two bags of shirts Karen has given me. I am told that the beginning bid starts at $1000. Holy Cow!
