Here's an update on the Column Quilts: Twenty-five quilts were made or donated to the "Quilt to Give" project at the Quilt Expo in Madison WI in October. (The design used was a variation of the Column Quilt projected that I presented on TV.) Last week these quilts were donated to St. John's Hospital in Joplin MO. I interviewed the hand-off of the quilts via SKYPE during a taping of Sewing With Nancy. It was wonderful to see the project create a full circle from the quilting to the giving. I know many of you—or perhaps all of you–have made and given quilts this year. The gift is always in the giving!
