ReplyDeleteWe're glad to have you!
DeleteWhat a great idea, I'm in
ReplyDeleteI will make a few blocks,
Dawn
Wonderful, thank you!
DeleteIt's a great idea... but I just can't this time. Too many deadlines right now.
ReplyDeleteHugs
No worries, Terri, I can certainly understand having too many deadlines!
DeleteI printed off Weeks #5 & 10. I'll do one of each block and get them in the mail in the next week or two. I was already about to start Week #10 for my own quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat would be brilliant, thank you so much!
DeleteSuch an awesome idea! I'm going to do my best to crank out a block or two! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to make a block to help, but super sad I won't get the chance to win the finished piece. Unfortunately financial donations just aren't an option for me to do right now. But I always love to help a good cause like the Linus Connection! =)
ReplyDeleteWe still appreciate your participation. Thanks for doing what you can!
DeleteDo you want titles on the books?
ReplyDeleteTitles are optional. :)
DeleteIt might just be my computer, but I can't get The Linus Connection links to work.
