QUILT POSTCARDS for ACTIVE MILITARY

Did you see us at the 2009 California State Fair in Sacramento?

The POSTCARD for ACTIVE MILITARY project was wildly successful, far exceeding our expectations. State Fair visitors made approximately 200 postcards to send to active members of our military, while those volunteering to help ended the day satiated with good feelings. Messages on the cards were personal and inspiring. Entire families made cards together. One woman who had just returned from Iraq told us how much the cards would be appreciated and carried by the troops

Special thanks go to: Pellon, for their Peltex donation; Lori Wisheropp, for designing and printing our lovely posters; Lyn Strauch, for her endless donation of time, expertise and materials; Paulette Trafecanty, for setting up our State Fair connections; Kari Bauer, for organizing the entire event; and everyone who helped out that day at the fair, cut motifs at home, donated fabrics and supplies.
