[CindyB]

Yesterday's mail had:

IowaGal - 1 box
Peaches!!!

Would you believe that both packages are going to work well together!!!! I could hardly believe it!!!!

Keep 'em coming in!

[CindyB]

Today's mail: Suzette!!!

It's a wonder - all of these blocks will fit together - at least colorwise!

[SHARONMAMAW]

are you putting the blocks together in a quilt????? i don't understand........help

[CindyB]

I'm taking blocks that people send (or completed quilt tops, etc.) and making quilts for those who loose everything due to disasters.

This started with the Greensburg, KS tornado when I knew a family that lost everything (she's a quilter and I work with her husband), and has expanded to other tornadoes and disasters - such as the two quilt tops I sent to astitchintime because she knew someone who lost everything in the Lake Tahoe fires.

So that's how this contest started. We need more blocks/tops to make quilts.

You know how it hurts when you are so far away that you can't do anything to help someone out? Well, this way, you can send a hug and prayers in a quilt!

[SHARONMAMAW]

THAT IS SO SPECIAL. I JUST CAN'T GET OVER WHAT A GREAT FORUM THIS IS. I'LL CHECK AND SEE WHAT I MAY HAVE. YALL ARE SO GREAT!!!!!!

[WeSignificant]

I gotta get these found and in the mail. I know I have some. I just need to find the time to look. Does anyone know where I put my time?

[IowaGal]

You have got to be kidding. I am certain I want to see a picture of that quilt top.

I had a partially finished top I sent The colors were so horrendous it gave me a migraine. Jake picked them out. Dayglo orange, purple, Lime green.. pure hideousness, but a kid will LOVE it. I am sure NOTHING will go with those~

[CindyB]

IowaGal - I got your package - I don't think the colors are too bright at all!!! Some kid will love that quilt!!

I also received Peaches' blocks

Both of above went to the basement with me Tuesday, but I haven't had time to post... We, I know if you find your time, please let me know, because my time will be there too!

I also received a package from Grammy65 - I can soooo see those in stained glass!!!!
