This is the note that I sent along with the blocks.
Hi Ladies-
I discovered your flier in one of my favorite quilt shops, Cotton Shop in Provo, UT. I was so excited to see the project you are planning. I came right home, pulled fabric from my special Americana stash and made these blocks. I may end up sending more.
Now, lest you think I am confused and don’t know who I am OR where I live I’ll tell you about my signatures on the blocks.
• I started life as Joanie Caraway (living in a tiny town in Plumas County, in way-north California). I learned to sew at age 8. I had a wonderful 4-H teacher, Mary Griener, who was so picky I thought I would die. But as my sewing life has progressed I’ve blessed Mary’s name many times because she taught me the right way to do things!
• Fast forward 21 years... Now I am Joanie Lewis. I moved to So Cal where, in 1995, one of my friends *infected* me with the quilting virus. I love it! I’d always sewed clothes for my 6 children, but by now they are too cool for Mom-wear... but nobody is too cool for a quilt!
• Then, 6 years ago, my husband retired and we moved to Northern Utah where we have 9.5 of our 20 + two-on-the-way grandchildren and I spend part of my time trying to sew up all the fabric in my stash... problem is- I KEEP BUYING MORE!
I‘ve put this info on my blog so I am hoping to drum up more blocks for this wonderful cause.
Still in stitches...
Joanie
