2163 Fabric Postcards Rounded up in Penny's Postcard Posse

The 4th of July Postcard Roundup was a rousing success with a final count of 2163.

This Roundup attracted elementary and middle school children as well as Girl Scout troops, a YMCA after school program, and individual quilters.

Several quilters sent in more than 100 each, and one quilter sent in 986!

On a more local front, my home town of La Mesa and the surrounding area - San Diego - ran a story on the local TV news on the 4th of July. You can watch it here:

And, my local Assemblyman, Joel Anderson, recognized the work of our quilting community on the Friday before the 4th with a Resolution from the State Assembly.

Thank you to everyone who sent in postcards. To think that we reached 2163 soldiers with a piece of their homeland that they will have forever is just amazing!

Happy Quilting!

P.S. We're gearing up for the Halloween Roundup. I've been asked to speak at a local middle school about quilting, and I will be taking some fabric postcards for them to decorate. If you have an opportunity like that or can create one - go for it!
