Yesterday, I sent approximately 100 Ahadi tiles to quilters in Washington, D.C. and Lansing, Michigan. So it goes that the first part of our project is complete.

I am immensely grateful to my colleagues at SOS FED, Marceline and Amisi; to the Capitol City Quilt Guild; to Rosamond Meerdink, who volunteered to coordinate quilting in Lansing; to the Faithful Circle Quilting Guild; and to AP staff. My gratitude goes especially to the project participants– women whose courage is unequaled and whose hard work on the Ahadi quilt will create a lasting legacy.
