At market we are struck by so many inspirations, not only to the eye, but to our hearts. I met up with Meryl Ann Butler (author of 90 minute quilts www.MerylAnnButler.com ) who is a Hokie mom. Struck with the terror of that day, she was moved to make a quilt for her daughter, a med student.. Butlers search for fabric in school colors led her to Jeff Pollack, president of Print Concepts Inc, the only U.S. manufacturer of collegiate print textiles. Jeff suggested that in addition to a quilt for her daughter she should consider making a quilt for the college.Fortunatly she took his suggestion to heart. This womderful wallhanging will be presented to the school at graduation. Meryl would like to remind us that in addition to the 33 grieving families the campus remains with incredible post truamatic stress and there are funds set up to help all of those who are reliving and trying to heal from the trauma. Gifts may be made to"Virginia Tech Foundation Inc" and sent to: Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund, University Development (0336), V Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061. In addition, both Ricky and I thank you for the effort that has been both spear headed and implimented on this site.
