CQ Needs You!
Busy Day today at my house! I've been blessed with a Fabulous bunch of fabric that is in need of washing, ironing and color sorting! The washing has been a task in itself, but this week will be ironing and sorting week at my house!
If there is anyone who would like to volunteer an hour or two next week, give me a jingle! I'll welcome you help!
Stay cool everyone, the heat index hit 111 degrees at 11:00 AM this morning. A good afternoon for quilting inside where it's nice and cool.
See ya and don't forget to purchase your raffle tickets!

History Revisited!
My daughter who lives in Fort Scott, KS sent me this wonderful news piece. I have provided it below for you to consider in your own community. What a magical display will this be! Thanks Jody!
The Airing of the Quilts
What a festive sight in historic Fort Scott all of March, recreating a long time tradition bringing winter bedding outside to bask in the sunshine and catch the fresh breezes welcoming springtime to the Prairie. Celebrate Women's History Month with Voices from the Quilts. Toss quilts over balconies, banisters, fences & clothes lines to tell our story from the Voices from the Quilts!
The entire month of March centers around the Fort Scott National Historic Site bringing Civil War Quilts and memorabilia for all to appreciate and admire: "Reflections on the War: Women and their Civil War Quilts" The Sutler of Fort Scott has contributed authentic Civil War sewing tools and accessories to be on display all month.
See Quilts telling the stories of local families at Lyons Twin Mansions daily and free of charge. Downtown shoppes have their windows and walls full of quilts. Window shopping is a delightful experience in historic Fort Scott . . just like in the olden days! Come on downtown and experience the magic!
