Gratitude for all of the wonderful people who helped raise awareness and funds for the
Okiciyap Food Pantry.
I want to first thank Melanie in IA and BeadLady who coordinated the quilt blocks, sewn the fantastic quilting & final binding to the quilt. Thank you to these DK Quilt Guild Members; Florene, frosti, kitchen table activist, Melanie in IA, glorificus, leu2500, vtgal, winifred3, Proud of My Bleeding Heart, Embee who donated the quilt blocks, and helped to create this beautiful quilt. My pinwheel block looks awesome next to these other fabulous blocks.
I want to thank glorificus & weck for organizing & leading the quilt auction. They made this all look very easy. Kudos for all of your hard work. Thank you to Trix the Silly Rabbit of Sunday Talk, and other Open Thread writers who allowed me to shamelessly promote the DK Quilt Guild Service Projects especially the Okiciyap Quilt Auction.
Thank you to nomandates & GreyHawk for the nifty codes to allow the diaries to look professional. Thank you to the writers, who wrote beautiful poignant diaries to bring awareness of the Food Pantry and inspired us. All of the comments, ideas, challenges, cheerleading, nudging and donations for this effort.
The Okiciyap Diaries have been educational, inspiring & just plain fun.
