A feature I wrote for The Advocate on the Bridge Over Troubled Waters Flood Relief Campaign for Quilters and the supply distribution they organized April 1. Flooding in the Greater Baton Rouge area in fall 2016 destroyed homes, businesses and schools, and decimated the collections of area quilters. Local quilters banded together to collect donations from around the state and country.
