Yes, DH and I are Quaker-- convinced, as they say-- Philip when he was in college, me when I got together with Philip! We were also married "under the care of" a Friends Meeting (in Ithaca, NY). We've been involved with our local Friends Meeting (Bethesda, MD) for about 10 years.
One of the members here became connected with Ramallah Friends School on the West Bank about 15 years ago, and since then, our Meeting has raised scholarship funds each year. Last year we were able to pay for two students' tuition. This year, we're shooting for three. We have a middle-eastern-themed spring fling each year. This is my (hoped for) contribution.
THis is also my first Kaleidoscope effort, and I find it quite fascinating. I prefer the sashing to the OBW look. At least for now, although I have an idea brewing in my head that OBW might work for. More on that later and elsewhere.
