Another shipment off-Tornado Quilts

Today I sent off another shipment of quilts (actually, they were donated from the quilt-a-thon we had at church in March for Project Linus) to Sarah B in KY. She will see that they get to the victims of the tornadoes in the midwest. I'm including four pillowcases to wrap up the adult ones for delivery.

We sent off 10 baby/child quilts along with a good assortment of stuffed animals. We can't see sending a quilt to a little kid who's lost all their toys (or had the ones they found to be dirty/damaged), without also giving them something to cuddle up to.

Thanks to Jane who is in charge of the Project Linus event for donating these quilts.

Thanks to Ruth who donated some of her cherished teddy bears. There were only two that couldn't fit in the box of quilts, so we donated them to the church's annual May Fair (if we couldn't use them, that's were they were headed anyway).

We couldn't do it without the support of our family at church!!

Quilts to go to Tornado Victims

This February has been a tough year for the Midwest. They have been devastated by tornados, some to the point of whole sections of town wiped out.

A member of Heartstring Quilt Project ( a yahoo group online), Sarah Buaer of KY, is willing to distribute quilts to those in need in KY and southern IN. We have donated three quilts, leaving our supply down to five.

Donated quilts:
This is Purple Strippy's front....

 and this is the back...

This is Marilyn's black and gray lasagna quilt (couch sized)...

... and this is the Easter Eggs quilt. A great child's quilt.
 Thank you Sarah for doing this......we hope it brings some comfort to some scared kids (and parents).

Update: While having dinner at Bolton Congregational Church on St Patty's day, the 'church shop' co-ordinator donated some afghans, hats and stuffed animals for us to send with these quilts. My grandson, Malakai gave me two of his stuffed animals and my daughter Julie gave some of her gently loved dolls to send. What else does a little kid need (who's lost all of her house/toys/belongings), but a huggable toy and a blankie?
