Below is the website for the Spirit article in Quilter's Home Magazine that highlights the Quilting Program of which I am the supervisor. They found the worst photo of me :oops: , but the guys look great!

Enjoy & thanks for taking the time to look.

What a FABULOUS program. I know that quilting gives me time to think about life and sort out things, you know? It's good for the soul, and I'm sure the prisoners benefit as much, if not more, than the recipients of their work.

Look at those big 'ol tough guys making such beautiful quilts!! :D The colors and designs are gorgeous! You are doing a wonderful thing for them -- especially mentally and emotionally. It's so clear to see that they really do enjoy being creative and producing something positive to give back to the community. God bless you -- and them -- for all your efforts. :wink: :D

You're doing something very valuable and a lot more than charity quilts is coming out of your efforts. You're opening up a new world those men may never have encountered without you!
