After Rocky Hill PD posting us on their FB page, we received a request for an interview with a local TV station, WFSB-CT. It was exciting to finally be able to share our story to the world outside of FB.
Here is that segment...

We were able (and they were willing to accept) to deliver 22 critters to Rocky Hill (CT) police dept, and place them in the care of Sgt DeNovellis. He was so excited to see them all displayed and see just how they can use them in their community. Thank you for being apart of our project. Its really near and dear to our hearts.
Our February mtg had to be postponed a week, due to a snowfall. That being said, we had four ladies that came to on "open sew" (we could work on personal projects). Its good to have this type of mtg occasionally. because we have multiple tables that we can put together for laying out large projects.
Kim brought 20 finished little quilts and we proceeded to match up critters with them. She also planned to work on her blocks.
Maria came armed with her French Window blocks with choices she needed opinions on, for going forward. She also helped Nancy (me) pin-baste our purple quilt for our group. I'll hand-quilt it and bind/label it later in the week.
So... we ended up getting 60 critters Blessed on a recent Sunday andthey already have homes to go to!
