Today, I'm proud to announce a new group of unexpected Friends and welcome them to the Patchwork Project. Recently, I was contacted by Michelle Davis and Girl Scout Troop 7025 of Kenosha, Wisconsin. These ladies have taken up the cause of domestic abuse awareness with a Halloween-themed art exhibit! 


The exhibit will be featured at the Lemon Street art gallery in Kenosha, as well as in their local news. Ms. Davis will be sending images of the artworks in the near future so we can all check them out!


In the meantime, here's the press release and info. If you're in the Kenosha area, be sure to check out the Kenosha Today Show at 6p.m. tonight and Sunday for more information on the project!
