A few months ago, I stumbled upon the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation and their quilting challenge: they send you a box of wedding dresses, and you make a quilt out of them. So, my grandmother, my mother (a breast cancer survivor) and myself decided (or well, I decided and decided to drag more of my family down with me) to make a quilt out of old wedding dresses.... and the box arrived a few weeks later...
We started the quilt at Quilting From The Heart's fall retreat. The first step was un-boxing all the quilts (Ok, me and my friends had already un-boxed them and tried them all on, but I decided not to count that....) All the other ladies were pretty excited to see what we were doing...
Later days.

Kathleen's Mom here- she didn't have to "drag" very hard! We really are having fun with this project. I am so proud of Kathleen for organizing this for a cause that has changed my life, and for her creative vision!

Thanks for the post. It must be nice quilting those wedding dresses. And hey, for brides out there looking for a Da Vinci wedding dress 50083, you should check out these that I've found.
