Hi, all!!
Who would have thought, way back in early April, that we would end this challenge in July with 47 active participants? If my count is correct, those 47 participants have sent in 60 quilts - amazing!!
And this is their week to shine - I'm asking each to link up their finished quilts below so that you can see the beautiful work that they have done! They have worked hard to create special works of art and love that will bless the lives of orphans in Romania, taken there and distributed by Judi and Clint Madsen of Green Fairy Quilts. This is an annual trip for Clint and Judi, and I know we are all honored to be a part of it this year.

And now, although I know at least for me the good
feeling I get when I give away a quilt is
reward in itself, we have some generous
sponsors who have provided giveaway items
for our wonderful participants!
The following is a list of the sponsors and
the prize they are providing....

ReplyDelete((Hugs))
Fun way to give a quilt!
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so impressive! I'll have to come back later and check out more of these beauties. Thanks so much for hosting this effort with Judi - I've never done anything like this before, and it was a great experience!
ReplyDeleteThanks again Sarah for hosting and organizing this event. Thanks to Judi and her husband as well. Like everyone else has mentioned, it was a great experience. Looking forward to next year!
ReplyDeleteYou've done a lot of work to make our contributions to Judi's trip possible. Thansk Sarah!! And thanks to Judi for making the trip to Romania - no small feat!
ReplyDeleteI've done it! Yay, it is finished, blogged, and added here!! Thanks so much for hosting, this was very fun!
ReplyDeletewhat fun that was!! 60 quilts!! You ladies are all amazing! Thanks Sarah for hosting and Judi for making the trip - just amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited!!! THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to say that my quilt is not quite finished. I had to shift my focus over the last half-week towards my assignment for uni - it was a lot harder than I thought to keep to the tiny word-limit! (You'd think that 4 x 250wds (for four different reflections) would be easier to write than one 1000wd essay, but NO!
ReplyDeleteI am dedicating the next few days to finishing this quilt - it will be done in time to get to Judi before they leave, but not in time to be entered into these fantastic giveaways - good luck to all the other women who've made gorgeous quilts! When I finish mine I will post it on my blog - hoping for Wednesday/Thursday morning. It WILL be posted via priority mail by Friday!!
Thankyou Sarah SO much for hosting this challenge - I will be sure to join in again next year!
Thank you so much Sarah for hosting this great challenge. All of your hard work has really paid off and I can see those quilts in the hands of special young people very soon.
