We need a volunteer who will be able and willing to create this (made from Brickmania t-shirts that we will provide) for our charity benefit auction. If interested, contact us at derek@brickmania.com with the subject line “WWB2020 Quilt Volunteer.” Please include a contact phone number and a mailing address in the body of the email.
