 Noah beat cancer! The cancer fighting t-shirts were sent my way from Noah and family

 Turned the shirts into a nice bright "kicked cancer" quilt

Two squares sewn into the back. One St. Jude square and a blank square for Noah to personalize his quilt with a date, inscription and or quilt title.

Finally! A sew day with the girls. Lots of great causes out there asking for quilt donations 

 Lucy had boxes of squares so we got started with the sewing process. Zelda is a master presser. If you are a quilter you know just how important a good press can be.

 Time to thin out the square stash and make some quilts

We have a big variety of shapes and colors. Will keep you updated on the results....
