ABOUT QUILTERS' S.O.S. - SAVE OUR STORIES PROJECT

FROM THE EDITOR

You probably won't recognize my name. I am a volunteer that simply took the initiative; stepped up and did the job. So if I could do this, just think what you could do and perhaps more importantly, just think what we could do together.
