The on-line quilting community
said an unexpected good bye
to a very special lady on February 8.
Paula Budinger, blogging as Paula B Quilts,
leaves a a very big hole in our hearts,
and awfully big shoes to fill.
Number one among her many quilty passions
was her desire to make a difference,
habitually constructing community quilts
for organizations that included Project Linus,
Jack's Basket, and Covered in Love.
In honor of Paula and her quilting mission,
Janice of Color, Creating, and Quilting
and Kate from Smiles from Kate
have collaborated on a blog hop
to take place
May 6 through May 8.
(I have only been on the periphery to lend support,
but these ladies have been doing all the hard work.)
Creating a Quilted Legacy
Following in Paula's Footsteps
to learn more wonderful things about Paula B,
and more about how you, too,
can make a difference
by signing on
to help fill Paula's shoes!
Thanks 'sew' much!

Thanks for the notice, Karen. I'll look up the other blogs.
It's always hard to say goodbye... looks like Paula has left the world a better place having been here....

I don't know why I never saw her blog - but you are the second to post about her today - I have checked out her blog now and really don't know how I missed it.
Sorry to hear. That's a great idea to honour her.
Lovely gesture Karen.
A blog hop in Paula's honor is a great idea. I certainly will miss her. Losing a Cyber friend is as sad as losing a real time friend.

I just learned about the blog hop today, and I've signed up to honor Paula. She was such a sweet and giving quilter. She'll be missed!
Lovely way to remember and honour.
Great idea to honor a quilter.
Oh so sorry to hear someone's journey has come to an end...by all appearances Paula had a life full of creative ideas...and the blog hop is a fitting way of honoring her legacy.
So sorry to hear of the loss of Paula but what a lovely response in her memory. Christine xx
Karen what a wonderful way to honor a true giving and creative person as Paula B. I never knew her or her blog however I feel she will be hugely missed in this world. I will check out the other blogs you have linked. Blessings Dear...<3
Thanks for the note. I didn't follow her closely, but always enjoyed reading her blog. This seems a fitting thing to do.
It’s a pleasure to work with you Karen, your input is invaluable. Paula is such a miss.
I don't think I ever read her blog, but what a wonderful way to honor her. Will have to visit Janice and Kate's blogs. Thanks for sharing.
She will be missed. Thank you for sharing, Karen.
