So far almost 11 000 rosettes have been received. That is almost 66 000 hexagons!!
The youngest contributers are two 8 year old girls (one of them is my gorgeous granddaughter, Isabella). The oldest stitcher is a 92 year old lady who lives in a nursing home.
The person who has contributed the most is Karena Webb who has completed a staggering 350+ rosettes
The hexagons have come from Cyprus, China, Chile, Canada, Hong Kong, The Nederlands, England, many states within the US, Belgium, Finland, New Zealand, Argentina and of course from all states in Australia.
One group of ladies, who recently lost a friend who loved hexagons, made rosettes in her memory. They are marked "In memory of Eva Fortune"
A significant number of people who have contributed to the project are making hexagons for the first time.
A group of breast cancer survivors known as the Dragon Boat Quilters, have made a significant number of rosettes. Their hexagons will be stitched together and, following the judging, their section of the quilt will be returned to them. It will then be raffled to raise funds for Breast Cancer research.
The photos are from the contributors in Cyprus.
The hexagons are currently being stitched together in sections. I will give you more updates soon.

Hi ladies!
ReplyDeleteWe sent some rosettes from Uruguay in mid November and we were wondering if you received them. I'm afraid we forgot to include our email address. Would you be so kind as to confirm reception (or not)? Our email is: traperasuruguayas@gmail.com
Awsome idea, by the way! We loved it and were happy to contribute!!
Merry Christmas!!
