John Flynn has been quilting for 32 years. His hand quilting, intricate quilts, and quilting frames are very well known in the quilt world. He is also a really nice guy! What you may not know is that he takes part in the Ride to the Beartooths (in Montana) to raise funds to find a cure for MS.

Last year, John was one of the top ten fund raisers at this event and he would really like to finish at the top fundraiser. He is turning to other quilters to help him meet this goal. For my part, I am much happier to donate than I am to actually ride the bike uphill in the the Beartooths (Bearteeth?).

To encourage donations, John has made an original quilt to give to one lucky winner who donates to help him meet his goal. The drawing for the 32" quilt will be after he has recovered from the ride.

The event takes place next weekend, August 17-18. Click here to go to John's page for the 2013 Montana Bike MS page. You'll be able to see how much he has raised to date. There is a link on this page to make a donation.
