My friend is going to Rwanda on a mission trip and the fundraiser is a silent auction. I had been collecting safari fabrics "just because" and now I know why - to make a safari quilt for the silent auction! I am so excited that I have been able to use God's gifts to me for His purpose!

I finished the quilt yesterday and the silent auction is tonight - I will let you know tomorrow how much the quilt helped in the fundraising!

I titled it "Lions and Cheetas and Zebras, Oh My!"
