We had the honor of representing the whole guild today as we passed out the much needed quilts to the students at Petersen elementary school. Some of the Black Mountain Group with quilts for the Petersen Project. Gifts of batting from the other circles has helped get the quilts. We even received quilts from ladies outside the guild. All the quilts were wonderful! I touched and looked at each one. We even received hugs from the teachers.

I know for many of us we increased our knowledge of quilting. As you can see it was an amazing sight to view the shear amount of donated goodness. Every quilt was worthy of giving to your own grandchild. Job well done!!!!!

The children, families and school staff will never forget this.
