2021&2022 - Put a Heart on It

These are certainly challenging times for all of us.  As quilters’ we are all amazing.  Let’s concentrate on kindness and heartfelt actions we have witnessed or heard about over the last few months.  So much of our heart and soul gets quilted into our work.  Let’s show it and send an inspirational message of hope, love, support and kindness.

Maybe you heard one of the many heartwarming stories that resonated with you.  Maybe you are one of those stories.  Maybe you need to heal.  Let’s concentrate on the positive.  Your quilt can be serious or amusing.  Express yourself.  It’s your story to tell.  The options are endless for creativity, imagination, design and construction.  But, above all, HAVE FUN!!!!!

Any ????, just ask.
