Our First "Triumph"

For all of those who have been following, or are participating in our quilting project, "Tragedy & Triumph", our first block has been submitted by Gayle Williams, whose shop is "whatshername.etsy.com" Her block is called "The Heart of America." Some of our quilter's are almost finished their block squares, so we are really getting this project off the ground.
