would load on my computer.
Oh it's so wonderful to see this! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for putting such a beautiful quilt together! I hope it made lots of money... Such a great cause.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing these photos...and the "progression of creations"...also loved your label, Margaret. Just wish I could have been in France for the flash mob picnic and auction!
ReplyDeleteWell done Margaret! Looking at the dates, is the picnic this coming weekend? I hope they film it!
