Someone will cherish this beautiful quilt and the thought that went into it.
Deb, thanks for posting the tip about using interfacing for the foundation! I love the technique, but removing the paper is a chore.

Here is a link to the article and the address to where it's being sent. I know it says send by April 30th, but my guild person is sending them off in a couple of weeks. I hope she hasn't missed the deadline or has approval for sending them a bit late.

Thank you for doing this!!! I have read too many blogs about how they cannot ship the quilts because of the expense this is wonderful!
I thought along the same lines as you. :>

I live in Riverside California and we are Sendai's sister city. We are trying to get a lot done to send over there as well. Our guild did an all day sewing last week but I had to work. They are getting some ready to send over.

you may not like what i am going to say, but it`s the truth. why does everything have to go to another country, when we need to be helping all the storm victims here in the good old usa. all of the countrys are against us, and will not help if we need.
