Rorimer OFFLINE Posts: 346	The "People we see" quilt raised $2874 for the elementary school. The children who worked on it and the whole school were very pleased. The children can't wait to start on the next one! Thanks to all who helped make that possible, you know who you are! JoAnne in southern California

I just heard from my sister, she told me more about the children working on this quilt, "It is a group, mostly boys, from K-5th grade. This is their third one and they are so excited!"

I've heard from others who have some great fabric they're going to send. Thanks very much, all of you who are giving a little time to look in your stash, to help children (mostly boys!) make a quilt to help their school. I've never met those children but I'll have soon have a photo or two to share.

Thanks for your help. I do need fabric that shows people doing something. Gotta have people and they are supposed to be doing something, that's the requirement the children have made.

Thanks to a "Magnus" a member here, I've found some darling fabric that shows grandmas being grandmas. She's sending me fabric she has by Mary Lou Weidman so I searched for fabric by her and found the grandmas.

Lynn has some fabric showing children farming and gardening, it's so cute!

Thanks for your help and your ideas, we and the children (in Ventura, CA) appreciate it.

mknavy90 OFFLINE Posts: 412	Hi, Joanne! I got your note. The truck block doesn't depict any people in it, so it isn't what you are looking for. I will keep looking - I may find something that is closer to what you are looking for. MK

mknavy90 OFFLINE Posts: 412	I have a block with an embroidered garbage truck on it (I had planned to use it for my boss who retired a few years ago, but the community quilt didn't come to fruition). I would be happy to send it to you if you want to use it. MK
