And the lovely Michele over at Quilting-Tutorials has taken over the annual blogger's Christmas Quilt Show formerly hosted by SewCalGal.  The linky will be open November 23rd - 30th.  Go visit Michele and grab her button to help promote this year's show.

 

LET'S HELP:

 

Erin (aka - Vesuviusmama) is collecting dissappearing 4-patch blocks to make quilts for the 'Sandy' victims.  Please visit Vesuviusmama where she has a wonderful tutorial for the block/size and to contact her.  These are very quick and easy blocks - and you don't have to square-up.  Grab some FQ's or break into that stash and help out.  This is definitely my SIL and my sewing for this afternoon!   **and if you are in her area, you could volunteer some time to help her put these together and/or quilt them**

 

CLOSING THOUGHT

 

When I saw a photo on-line of the double rainbow over the devastation in NYC, I thought of this poem:

 

"I saw the lovely arch
Of rainbow span the sky,
The gold sun burning
As the rain swept by."

- Elizabeth Coatsworth, November
