Healing Hands Quilt

One of my dearest friends is battling breast cancer right now. She is tough, I know she will beat this. But I felt that I had to do all I could to help her through this, so, I decided to enlist her many friends and family to help me with a "healing hands" quilt. Each person traced their hand on paper, wrote a special note to Jodi and chose a fabric to use. I then transferred the handprint to the fabric and wrote the notes inbetween the fingers of each hand. At this point, it took on a life of it's own. My quilt group had lots of wonderful ideas on using variegated thread, a different applique stitch for each hand and creative quilting. I spent a lot of time quilting this one - channel quilting, stippling, some free motion leaves... and in the very center I quilted her initial - J! I was so pleased with the way it turned out.
Jodi loved it and was very touched by all the lovely notes from friends and family. Now she can get a hug from those that love her - any time she pleases!

You've seen them before.

Sage masters who seem to create MIRACLES.

They travel vast distances and exotic lands to
learn an ancient art.

Kind of like David Carradine in the TV show Kung Fu.

Well one healing art , called Reiki, is an ancient
art so powerful that Reiki masters heal illnesses and
ailments JUST BY TOUCHING the person.

Sometimes, they don't even touch the person.

They just place their hands over the affected
area, and it HEALS.

It gets better, Reiki Masters can even heal people
over vast distances!

This is Jedi level healing!

However, for centuries, mastering the art of Reiki
has been practically impossible for outsiders.

But my friend Owen, has changed all that.

With his system or Reiki Mastery, he uncovered a
CONSPIRACY.

A conspiracy to prevent people from learning, no,
MASTERING Reiki.

Here's the deal: Reiki was INTENDED to be learned
quickly and easily.

That's what the original creator of Reiki intended.

Owen UNCOVERED this conspiracy and how to
teach Reiki the way it was ORIGINALLY taught.

The result: You can attain MIRACLE results in DAYS
instead of years.

Change your life.

In hours.

But that's not all.

You can change other's lives.

P.S. - Owen is offering a special training that
won't be around forever.

He's planning on releasing his training methods on
a large scale.

But for now, it is invitation only.

So, if I were you, I'd take advantage of that as well.

Look forward to hearing from you!
