Every day that I drive by the spot where the fire reached the highway that bisects our valley and get reminded all over again about how close we came. As I drive past the burned hillside, I send up all thanks that the firefighters were able to stop the fire's progress right there. It's tough knowing that there are a lot of people in our community who've lost everything.
If you feel moved to make a quilt for the CZU Fire, our great local quilt store, Modern Handmade is hosting a benefit Sew-A-Long beginning on October 8th. It doesn't cost a lot, for $10, you get video tutorial and three patterns as well as a FaceBook group that goes along with all the projects. It's billed as a "get a jump on Christmas". Hope to see you on there!
There's also a local quilt group that's collecting "personal sized" quilts to distribute to Fire Survivors, minimum size of 48"x 60".
