Happy quilters with a quilt that is SEW joyful:

Thank you, again, Darlene!  Your contribution, combined with those of a number of other quilters, provided another example of the fabulous teamwork going on in the quilt world.  Special thanks to those of you who have helped this project bloom!  More updates to come.

If YOU didn't get involved in the LWR Quilt Drive, there's a different organization that might capture your interest.  Preeti @ Sew Preeti Quilts is currently hosting a QAL to benefit Mercyful Quilts.  Find all the details at the Positivity QAL tab at the top of her blog.  

Until next time...
