Our daughter spent 5 weeks on a study abroad in Mali last summer and brought home some great fabrics from the market. They even went to some marketplace that specialized in women's crafts, so it might have been from this project!

She had several wrap skirts made there from the fabric -- very simple - one yard of fabric with small ties placed at the waist.

Mali is very Muslim with some naturalistic religions thrown in (maybe the wrong term), so she was told to wear long skirts, modest tops, etc., but found that the dress was actually less formal than that, which is good because it was pretty darn hot.

I will make sure that she sees this show!

My 93 year old mother has been watching over my shoulder (I won't give up the front row seat) and she is hooked. We both were moved to tears by the thought behind everyone's quilts and the effort in Mali. I think this might have been my favorite show. Gloria

What a wonderful show! I loved seeing the challenge quilts from Helping Hands. And i felt so good to know I had been a part of that $4500 contribution TQS members made to the whole effort!

Hats off to the project in Mali!

And of course, Sue is Sue

What a wonderful show!!! What a wonderful organization, too!!! So encouraging to hear about lives being touched and helped. Congratulations to the Challenge winner--all the Challenge quilts are outstanding! And, Sue, what can I say? You are just about the most talented quilter on the planet!!!!! Judy in Torrance

Gosh I loved this show. Everything about it including the closing credit music. Congratulations KarLynne!!! And what a fabulous prize! What a fabulous quilt.

I refuse to join the 'Sue Garman School of One Inch Blocks'. I think we should scale up her gorgeous challenge quilt so that it ends up bed size.

Another great show. Thanks TQS!!

it has already been edited and reposted - I flipped out when I was screening the show - that the names weren't there..ggeeeeezzzzzeeeee

For me, this just may have been the best show to date.

I agree it was great -- but what is the name of the quilter that won. Boo Hoo for the 2nd place winner.
