From Ricky Tims: "Success! Thank you for making The Visitation Quilt Mural a reality. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy! Thanks to the generosity of donors from all over the world, the GoFundMe campaign for the Quilt Mural Project and my quilt, The Visitation, reached its goal of $25,000. Your support has made this incredible dream a reality, and we cannot thank you enough."

More From Ricky Tims:

"Every contribution, whether large or small, was a vital part of this effort. Your enthusiasm and belief in the power of art to inspire, connect, and celebrate our shared love of quilting have truly touched my heart. The Visitation will eventually take its place on the Quilt Mural Wall in Paducah, Kentucky, as a symbol of creativity, community, and collaboration.

I would also like to recognize Gayle Hillert, whose tireless efforts in organizing this campaign made it possible. She worked diligently to coordinate every detail and ensure that all donors were recognized. Gayle says:

"It has been an honor to help bring Ricky’s quilt to the mural and to see the generosity of people from all over the world come together for this project. Thank you to each and every supporter — your contributions make this dream possible."

As a lasting tribute, each donor will be listed on the Quilt Mural Project website as a contributing sponsor, ensuring your generosity is permanently recognized and celebrated.

This achievement is not just about reaching a financial goal — it is a testament to the power of a global community coming together to support art and artists. We hope that each of you feels pride in what you have helped create.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this vision come alive. Your support inspires me and keeps the creative spirit thriving.

With deepest appreciation,

Ricky Tims"
