Woohoo! There are some of our quilts - last and fourth from last. I saw others in later posts, too. The fourth from last is from my aunt, and the last one was made by several people in my family who get together once a month to "stitch and bitch"! It's so amazing to see what you're doing to distribute these quilts. Thank you (as I've thanked Tia already) for giving us an opportunity to contribute.
