Every year for the past 9 years, the annual FAWCO conference has auctioned off a quilt with proceeds benefitting the FAWCO Foundation. The 2004 quilt had the theme of Sunbonnet Sue; the finished quilt is pictured here.

The Birmingham Conference in March 2005 will feature the 10th FAWCO Friendship Quilt, titled “How Does FAWCO’s Garden Grow?” This idea came from the quilt group in Rome by free association: Birmingham . . . England . . . gardens . . . bloom where you’re planted . . . planting trees . . . growth of the Foundation’s programs. A decade of quilts is something special, so don’t miss being part of this one!
