Greetings, Quilters -

The Turkey for the Troops fabric postcards are beginning to fly in!

Here is just one of many fabulous cards we have received here in beautiful La Mesa, CA.

The project is to gather 400 fabric postcards to send to our troops abroad. This seems like a huge goal, yet when quilters gathered for a similar project for the 4th of July, more than 225 were shipped to Iraq.

Beginning with that group of quilters, we expect the group to expand, so we can easily reach 400 in no time at all, and far exceed that number by the deadline on November 7. This deadline will give us plenty of time to get them wrapped and shipped to our troops in time for them to celebrate Thanksgiving with a little turkey - or some other small piece from home.

Pictures of all of the fabric postcards are posted at:
