Frog Quilt Challenge



"You've been frogged" was a challenge we did about 2 years ago. My sister had sent me a crazy cast iron frog with instructions that told me I could not get rid of it until I did something nice for someone else, and she DID NOT want it back! It became a Project Linus challenge with a new twist. I made a frog themed quilt block, then wrote a set of slightly altered rules. The recipient could only get rid of the frog by making a frog themed quilt block. She then could "Frog" another quilter. When we had enough frog blocks for a teen sized quilt, I added sashing to the blocks and completed a top. Recently the top was quilted by Debbie Pierce-Dunn. I completed the binding last night. In the meantime, the frog was passed along to a PL coordinator in Great Falls Montana. I am so anxious to hear of the frog's cross country travel! If anyone knows where the frog is, please share! The ladies asked for a new challenge-- so we are doing the "Funky Chicken" . Blocks must be 8.5". Anyone can do a block and send it to me at 1400 Cedar St, Pocomoke City MD 21851

We love Thank You notes:
This one was addressed to a very prolific volunteer, Betsy.
Dear Ms S___
Thank you so much for the blankets you made for the NICU babies at PRMC. Our twins stayed there for about 2 months and used your blankets. The Project Linus blankets are a wonderful idea and make the NICU a much warmer place. Thanks again, Love Stan and Jennie B
