I’ve slowly been working down my list of things to do, and for once, generally in order of priority! The next thing to start working on is the quilt for the Lala Salama – 100 quilts for Kenya project.

Of all the quilts I have made, this quilt has been the most challenging and the most personal. Personal in ways I never even thought of until I headed out this evening to get photos at sunset.
