Calling all QUILTERS, STITCHERS, and anyone that can thread a needle...or use a sewing machine...


My friend Asha alerted me to this effort...and I certainly plan to send in some blocks to support it. I hope that you will consider to do the same. The blocks are simple...a WHITE RECTANGLE with 2-red X's on it. Simple and meaningful.

In these trying times, we all get overwhelmed in our daily routines...and in debating issues of the day with each other. BUT, I'm hoping that we all can come together and join each other for such a worthy cause. Please go to the links within this post...and choose to participate!

From a few blocks...many can be made. A small effort can make a difference!

Thank you for posting this, Kathy! As I told you in an email, I just decided last week while chatting with our friends from France that we need to complete every block - all 70273 of them - by the end of Augist 2017. The German Nazis spewed hate and inhumanity into the ord in 18 months. We will counter their atrocious behavior with 18 months of kindness and commemorating. We're gonna need all hands on deck to do this, though, so thank you for the blocks you've made and thank you for telling others. So glad our paths have crossed.
