I will share more about this project soon.

If you are a member of the Alliance you can vote for my quilt to be the winner.

If you are not a member you can join for only $25.

The Quilt Alliance is doing an excellent  job documenting the quilts we create, our stories and  antique quilts.

It is an important link to our quilt present and history.

I also will be sharing where to find my story on the Quilt Alliance with you soon.
