A finish for WTIL


Here is a quilt that Janet finished using some of the disappearing 9 patch blocks from a sunshine challenge and blocks that students in an elementary school colored in as a classroom activity. Janet has been going into the classrooms for 5 years and the teachers and students really enjoy the project. (So does she!) Before the project is done there will be a total of 9 quilts finished, all of them going to Wrap Them in Love

TOTALS for quilts March 12,2008

I am going to post the totals so far for 2008 of finished quilts from Sunshine members. I may be off just a few since we are just starting the blog and trying to get the totals in from the members. But hopefully by April it will be a correct total.

WAS--79 finished quilts sent in

WTIL--13 finished quilts sent in

PANAMA--2 quilts delivered by member

Only 3 months into the year and the members have done a great job and so many kids will get a quilt. I hope that we can contiune to reach the needs of each group through out the year.

Thanks to everyone who has helped so far and I look forward to Aprils totals from you. I will post totals at the beginning of each month if possible.
