Gigix12 and I are in the same quilting group locally. Our groups name is 'Pieceful Quilters'. Our group recently made and donated 27 lapquilts and 10 fleece throws to a nursing home. Our newspaper did a really nice article about it if you would like to read it.

Click the forward arrow on the right until you get to the 8th page.
Our article is on the left, click on top of it to make it large enough to read. So cool, the photo's are in color online. In the newspaper they are in black and white.

Our next project is making dog bed liners, pads, etc. for Tennessee River Rescues which is a self funded, no kill shelter in our community. http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TN329.html
I am hoping they will get enough votes in this contest to get a grant.

Thanks guys,, the voting site won't let me put my vote in. Says my session timed out. Maybe their website is down?

Thanks again. I think the voting site may be down for maintenance. Everyone is getting 'your session timed out' yesterday and today. Hopefully it will be up and running again soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Did you figure out which person I am in the article photos? :D
