Luckily many of shops have shared the same message Karen at Rosewood and so I feel ok with sharing it.
"Hello, I'm not sure how many of you are aware of our daughter Rachel's very serious accident late this summer. She lives in England. She and her two sons 7 & 6 were visiting us here in Michigan for about 30 days while the boys were off school. Her husband had come over for the last 8 days of the summer. We had a fun summer which ended in tragedy just two days before they were to fly home. We are all devastated.
"After a month in hospital here in Michigan she was flown via medical transport over to England to a hospital there. She has sustained a TBI-Traumatic Brain Injury. She is now in a center for enablement - receiving rehab in Oxford, England. We are all hoping and praying for a miracle, that she can overcome this, but it will all take time - lots of time. The doctors feel that her sister, her father and I, should visit to help with her rehab as often as possible.
"I designed a leaflet to raise money to help our family be able to fly over to visit her in hospital in England. It is called "Crazy Socks"-the explanation of the title is on the back cover of the chart."
Been thinking about getting a Rosewood Manor pattern?
Now is the perfect time.
Photo shown is the second Rosewood Manor I bought in support of Karen it's called "Autumn Quakers".
First was featured last blog post called "Inspiration". I also own a few more my Rosewood that I unearthed to make sure I didn't buy duplicates.
On an unrelated note. My stash needs a serious organizational rework. More on that to come soon.

Do you have the stitch count off this pattern? I couldn't find it on the description on the website and was trying to figure exactly how large of a project it was.
That is very sad, and a very difficult time to go through. I will be praying for Karen's daughter's recovery.
Ooooo, love the colors in this one - now that my buying gates have opened a bit (I knew that would happen when I caved on Serenity Harbor) I will have to look more seriously at it.
Cool pattern and great cause. I hope she heals well.
Beautiful pattern
My sfs budget is looking good so i might buy a pattern
First need to see how much the cost are of the material kit
I hope she heals well
She is in the best hospital from England for a brain injury
Big hug

Just went to her website but cant find any information about this pattern
Do you have a website were i can find it ?
Now I understand, thanks for explaining. I really want the Seasonal Quilt patterns, so I'll probably take this opportunity to get one or two of those - support for Karen and her family and a little treat for myself.
What an awful thing to happen after such a lovely trip. She really is in the best place for recovery and recuperation. It will be a long haul but I'm sure having her family around will really help.
It's nice to know that your stash enhancement is going to a good cause too.
Crazy socks, I'm so on it!
Thank you for sharing this bit about what is going on as I was wondering if she had fallen off the planet!
