Mission accomplished.... 140 quilts pieced, quilted, bound, plus 100 pillowcases were delivered to Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school. Many thanks to over 60 vol-unteers who worked on the quilts, the Home Economics Stu-dents at Calvary High School who made the pillow cases for the quilts and all of the donations from our vendors who made this project possible. A special thanks to Don-na and Brenda for hav-ing the leadership to see this project through and to our long-arm quilters who quilted all of the quilts. A very special shout out to Kathi

Cochran for quilting almost 70 quilts!

Thank you for Sewing a little Love!
