Patches for the Mother Emanuel AME Church quilt

Thank I have noticed that in DK5, scrolling long diaries can be a bit unwieldy and frustrating. So, in the interest of simplification, I am putting the list of the Community Quilt Project’s completed quilts in this separate diary which I will keep updated as a living document. This way, it can be linked to future quilt diaries — and those who want to read the list of what we have done and look for any thank you diaries from quilt recipients, can do so.

These are the quilts we have made for community members — all sponsored by you, the community members, and containing messages of love and support from you.
