This is the project that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends… Below are the glorious captions of all the okinawa memory quilt squares crafted together by my dear sweet friends.

Hi Maria, These are so sweet. What a precious group of women with such talent. I trust you’ll be able to put it all together. If not, when you’re back in the states, you’ll just have to come over to Sandy’s and she can help. I can make the coffee! It’s great to see you through the pics! Love and miss you. Steph and Bryce, too.
