Thanks Peggy. Looking forward to hearing from everyone. Val showed me one of the fabrics you will be using at the shop. Beautiful.

Happy to join in on this project

Thanks Joan for creating this blog.  I am looking forward to this project.  I will be using the Civil War Homefront collection (fat quarters that I bought over a year ago!) for my Influence quilt.  I am ok with beginning with block one.  Let me know if everyone wishes to meet in a local restaurant.  My schedule is flexible for evenings or weekends.  Thanks again for setting this up for all to share.

Welcome....Welcome....Welcome

Welcome to the 2013 "Women of Influence Block-of-the-Month Quilt" event. This journey will be taken by seven Delmarva quilters and result in a lovely quilt celebrating twelve women who led the Suffrage Movement. The project will especially commemorate the 100th anniversary of The Woman Suffrage Parade of 1913 held on March 3 on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC . We are looking forward to sharing ideas, color choices, plans, challenges, and blocks and hearing others' comments and feedback.
