Dear FAWCO Quilters,

First, thanks and congratulations to all who participated in “Common Threads”, the 2021 quilt. We raised a record $5365 for The FAWCO Foundation!

The Blue Bird of Happiness

Nature doesn’t give us many truly blue things, which might be why bluebirds have symbolized hope and happiness in many cultures, all over the world, for centuries. Bluebirds and happiness are both rare. So, for the 2022 quilt, please send me some bird blocks. Or flower blocks, if you think that’s easier. Or if both these things are beyond your skill set, a simple 9-patch block.
