Since we are beginning a new year... I thought I would extend an invitation to everyone to be a part of the "official" HUG list.
What is a HUG? In most cases, a HUG is a quilt that is made of love. When when of us needs to feel the loving arms of their RCTQ family holding them tight, someone often volunteers to make them a quilt. We send out a request for blocks (usually a set size and/or color combination) and the HUG maker receives them via snail mail. She (or he as the case may be) then constructs the quilt (sometimes she has help with quilting or binding) and it is delivered (in person when possible) to our very dear RCTQ family member in need of a HUG.
Sometimes it may be just a flurry of blocks... or squishies to help bring a smile to someone's face. Sometimes they are even more creative.
That's it.
So if you would like to be a part of the list of people who receive periodic requests for a block or two to assist in the making of a HUG quilt, please respond to me off list. The RCTQ cyber family has a strong history of supporting each other through the difficult times in our lives... as can be seen by viewing the HUG Gallery (graciously hosted by our own TerBear) at
