Huge Thanks!

I belong to most all of the crazy quilting groups that have been formed on-line. One of these, Crazy Quilting International deserves a HUGE round of applause! I am soooo very touched by these wonderful people!

This is the story..... I went to the http://www.makingmemories.org/ site not long ago and volunteered to make a quilt for them out of donated wedding dresses. Quilts are returned, completed and then auctioned off. The proceeds then are put towards research for breast cancer. This is one of my pet charities as it has affected me on a personal level. Anyway, the HUGE box arrived from them, complete with DIFFERENT time lines for completion!!! OMG!! So, I asked my local group of cquer's AND folks at CQI if they could help! The response has been overwhelming! These stitching soul mates from around the world have stepped up to the plate and offered their time, skills and creativity to help me put this together! Just AWESOME!! These ladies deserve a HUGE round of applause, thanks and HUGS!!! Thank you, thank you! Your generosity is overwhelming and I am crying tears of joy that this project will be able to come together!

CQI girls ROCK!!

Charity Quiltlets

I thought I would snag pics of all of the quiltlets that have been completed to date and share them with you! Each contributor will have their quiltlet which measures 6 x 8 inches, digitally signed with their name, state and country. I will then consolidate it and print that off to go with the wall hanging when it is donated.

As blocks are completed, I am not only posting them at CQI, but sending off pics to CQMagonline where we will be featured in the upcoming issue all thanks to Jo Newsham! She is such a marvel and I really appreciate her asking about this! I will be pushing the date for completion out to accomodate any interest that may be generated by the article! We have until the end of the month, so please be sure and send me a pic if you are working on something for this project!

All of them are so unique and so very special! I can't begin to express how very grateful I am to everyone that is and has taken part in this project! I am positive the kids will LOVE spending time looking at this quilt and that it will bring many a smile!
