I have finally collected all 61 blocks for the Authors’ Album quilt, which will be awarded in a drawing to raise money for the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation.
Acclaimed author Chang-Rae Lee signs the 61st fabric patch.
Bestselling author Jennifer Weiner holds up the quilt in progress. Her block is the wine colored one near the upper right corner.
If you ever have the chance to hear these authors speak about their work, don’t miss it. Chang-Rae’s discussion of his writing was fascinating, and Jennifer totally rocked the Hillel on the UW campus on her recent visit to Madison.
(I can say things like “totally rocked” because I used to live in Southern California. I am also permitted to call people “Dude,” although I try not to.)
