I wasn't planning to post again before Christmas, but I did want to share this:
I received a group email from Crazy Quilt Embellisher's about a memorial project  being organized. I signed up to participate.
What's it all about?


"This project is to be a tribute to those people who lost their lives in the unspeakable shooting tragedy in Sandy Hook, CT in December, 2012." Participants " will choose to create either (or both) a diamond shaped block or a heart in memory of a victim. The diamonds will be pieced into a quilt to be donated to the Sandy Hook, CT government as a tribute and memorial for the victims. More specific details on the exact agency will be published at a later date. Others may choose to make a completed heart that will be donated in memory to each of the families of the victims."

I wanted to share this information.
If you would like to be a part of this project, please email me at susancuss(at)yahoo(dot)com and I shall send your info and email address to the project co-ordinator.
or you can read all about it here:
Blessings to all.

  4. It's terrible tragedy why do these happen, We have such laws in the UK and guns are not readily available. I hope the US changes their laws and they stop having guns then perhaps these things will never happen again. I feel so sorry for the parents leaving their children at school for the day and then the worse happens and they never hold them again. What a lovely project and I hope the raise plenty from the quilt.
