Trip Around London Quilt
Last summer I put out a call for British theme fabrics, hoping some would have some bits left over from other projects, or a random yard of something I could buy.

Stashbusters November
It's been five weeks since our last check-in, have you been sewing during Autumn Jubilee? There were certainly a lot of projects to use up some stash.

Cradle Quilt Update
The cradle quilt drive has been amazing. Before we began Autumn Jubilee, I did two updates with photos of the 73 quilts that were received in September.
