But first. In the next couple of weeks I will have a couple of quilter interviews including Elizabeth Rosenberg.

Quilt. Share. Care.
One of the most beautiful experiences as a quilter is this moment when we gather together to use our best skills of compassion and quilt making to care for people in need in some way.
