the front of Rochester Cathedral

 

Before the ink dried on the idea called The 70273 Project, Lucy Horner (a friend on Instagram at that time) offered to collect blocks for The 70273 Project at her shop. Little did she know that 2 years later, she would have the proverbial tiger by the tail. Lucy’s infectious enthusiasm coupled with the good hearts and hands of countless people in the Rochester area made for an explosion of interest in commemorating those we honor. And now, at last, these are the quilts created and exhibited in Rochester Cathedral:

Total number of lives commemorated at Rochester Cathedral:

14,024

which brings our block count total to:

55,108

I’m not kidding, y’all. Scroll on down to the bottom of the page and watch that graph shoot up towards the finish line.

bags and boxes of mail

And there are many more blocks and quilts waiting for me to stay home long enough to check them in, so that number will grow. There are some surprises coming up in the newsletter and on the blog, so you might want to subscribe to both. Just sayin’.

Thank you to all who have stitched, hosted, shared, pieced, quilted, donated, and contributed in a host of other ways to bring us to this point.
