Diane and her Heart Defect Research Quilt

Hello, March 14, Friday.
Wednesday I sent off the quilt to the winner, Mary D. I am sure it is going to a good home. :(
Sniff Sniff, missing it.  :)
I had Ma take one last picture, so you could see what it looks like finished, and a rod in the Rod pocket. But she isn't use to the new fangled cameras and chopped my head half off.
She hasn't taken many pictures since the days of her Brownie.

Diane and the Heart Defect Research Quilt

I have already heard from both organizations, ( CHP's foundation, and UPMC's Development office, for CVI)  and as soon as the monies clear out from Go Fund Me's  We Pay account, i will send off checks to both groups. My $1020, when withdrawn, minus the fees, came to $930.78. Fees than were $89.22,   8.74%. Which is about what they have in the FAQ's.
THANK YOU all for the Support, Donations,  and Love !!
Who knows, if able, maybe I will do it again in 2 years. BUT forget about those 89 little pieces, something a bit easier.

Love Diane

PS 
Plus, Cash on hand, checks, I never added into the G F M, in case they took fees out on it too. $121.
$1051.78  total
But WOW !! THANK YOU AGAIN!!

Heart Defect Research Quilt Mar 5 2014

Hello, March 5, 2014
WOW!! When I started the Heart Defect Research Fund, I expected it would really be like a "raffle", 100 people might give $5 or $10. But for Family, and Friends to gift more, WOW!! I am truly Blessed!!
I am almost to the goal of $1,000, in under a month.
After someone told me, they withdrew some of their monies in their account, of the $400, the amount in the checking account only was $364. The funding source, admits to a 5% fee, plus 2.9 % and $ .30 processing fees, but it was in reality, more like 12% fee. I haven't inputted the Cash on hand, not sure if it would be charged fees also. So I am in reality over my goal amount.
I have emailed both places for information on gifting, and haven't heard back. :(
I need to resend those emails.

The Quilt is almost complete. I had issues with how the binding turned under, over the Rod Pocket, and ripped it out, and resewed it, But I have the hand sewing half done.

WA LA, Rod pocket sticking out on the top, and Binding all stitched on.

The Label I stitched out with the machine, I thought came out well.
I need to hand stitch down the binding and rod pocket.
