hug quilts thoughts

ok....so i'm just jumping in with both feet here....sometimes
"generic" HUGS are a good idea..such as a relative of a cousin the
requesting member hasn't spoken to in 100 years, but if it's a dear
mom or dad or sister, etc...of the member, or the member themselves,
these blocks, (IMNSHO) should be made for that person, with their
favorite colors, pattern, or what have you. I know I try to make and
send the HUG block/card/fondling-fabric within at least a few days of
the request.

as far as colors...some of the muddy colors are great blenders. i love
brown, green and fall colors for that reason.

amy in SoCal....off the soap-box for now.....

Just a thought. Taria Well I don't know about that - the personal touch is really heart- warming to me. The thought that we all contributed blocks with purple or lime green in them cuz it's a favourite colour of the Hugee is just something that you couldn't get from a standby HUG - just my thoughts.

I know these posts are very old, but I can't seem to find new ones at all lately. Just wondering if HUG quilts are still being made ... also is there a gallery still kept of the quilts ... did the one for Gabby ever get done? I know, a lot of questions but I don't see much posted about HUG quilts anymore. Just wondering. I recently requested quilt blocks for a very sick friend who still loves to play with fabric but has little energy to do a whole quilt herself. I never got a confirmation about it or received any blocks ... yet ... so I'm just wondering about all these things.

Thanks Louise for the info on HUG quilts. I imagine it's pretty hard to get someone to donate the time to put a quilt together these days - everyone seems to be busy. When I put one together for a friend, I sent it out to be quilted, so yes, money is involved when it comes to that, but it was worth it for sure. Yes I have the directory and just recently put in a request for blocks for a dear friend who is very sick, can't do much anymore, but still loves to play with fabric when she's not too tired. She'd have a great time putting the blocks together, slowly of course, because her energy is not high.

I heard nothing about your request for blocks. And I am on the hug list.

I didn't get any request for blocks either, and I've been in the last
several directories and am on the Facebook group and Hug List as well.

Sharon (N.B.)

I know that Kate still is in charge of the HUGS list. I just don't remember
seeing that particular request come through. I have a few orphan blocks and
I would be glad to pick one to send for your friend. Maybe you should
e-mail her again. That IS the right e-mail address according to the current
directory, by the way.

I emailed her again but got no response. I hope nothing is wrong. Have you received any request yet?
