It's been an entire year since that ghastly day in Blacksburg. The quilts are very nearly done. I will be sewing the border on the final (61st) top today, then it will be quilted. There is a photographer coming this weekend to photograph the 45 or so quilts that I have here all finished. There are 8 more already in Blacksburg, and about a half dozen being quilted or bound all around Connecticut.

I have decided to use 8 of the logo blocks and one block that I sewed in red and black colors to make a small quilt to send to Northern Illinois University, which had its own sorrow this February. I'll post photos of that here too.

I can still use about 40 labels, if anybody is still reading. If you have an embroidery machine and would like to contribute, please send me a message. I'll give you the exact wording for the quilts.

Have a peace-filled day, everyone.
