Pray for Miners

Huntington, Utah: A town of HOPE.

This HOPE crazy quilt is on it’s way to Mayor Hilary Gordon in Huntington, Utah. This small town received another blow yesterday evening when the mine had a “bump” of seismic activity that killed 3 miners and sent 6 more to hospitals. These miners were part of the rescue effort to reach the 6 miners trapped in the mine for over a week now.

“PRAY 4 OUR 6”

Utah flags are at 1/2-staff today in honor of the 3 men who died last night.

Huntington is a community holding on to hope.

oh Cat ! This is such a ckool idea- she will love it and it will give her a boost, I know it.

( I am so proud to know You ! )

It is a beautiful quilt. I LOVE all the background fabrics with these tiny prints (dashes/dots , etc) !

Gives depth and texture. LOVE IT !

That was such a kind thing to do.
It is like lending her your arm as she gets up to move on. I think this will help give her extra strength to know someone cared enough to do this...
