It’s November, and the leaves are falling as the temperatures keep rising into the 70’s. Crazy weather but – HEY, welcome to Michigan! During this month of saying “Thanks!” please make a few charity blocks to bring a smile and comfort to a sick child and his or her family.

This month Rebekah has selected the Strings of Hope block designed by our friend Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts. Our colors are dark gray, light gray, yellow, and olive green .. be sure to view the MudPunch link for the exact shades.
