Quilts for the World Project

Together we pieced quilt tops for refugees around the world.

Once more you've proven to be amazing, generous quilters!

We hoped to beat our 2006 Olympic record of 19 quilt tops.

YOU made 116 quilt tops & quilts!

That's truly a gold medal performance.

Thank you!

A wonderful evening ...

with Diana Swain of CBC News

Pearl & Barb had a chance to hear Diana speak at a Women in Business dinner. Her topic was Quiet Leadership and in example after example she reminded us of the power of the ordinary person to rise to challenges and to make a difference. The leaders are NOT all at the front of the room!!

Each Staff Pix project - $15/day plus pattern & materials.
