2a. Re: Orphan blocks
Posted by: "Wilma Ladiges" [email protected] ladigeswilma Sun Jan 30, 2011 12:50 am (PST) Dear Jan and all, I have arranged to use a local Church hall for working bees.About 25 willing sewers and finishers so far. I have some kind offers from fellow long arm quilters to help with the quilting. We are up to the challenge. We know that in 2-3 months when all these quilts are completed and ready for distribution. The recipients will be feeling like they are forgotten and all alone in their strife. When they are given a beautiful quilt made with love in every stitch,it will help them to realise that we will not forget them . Each quilt will be labelled to show that the blocks were sent to us from our friends in USA. God bless you all. Wilma |
Thanks everyone- I have two cousins and their family's that had severe damage to their homes there due to the flooding. I'll notify my local guild and circles, too!Quilters are a wonderful group of caring people!

I just would like to provide another US address to ship blocks for Carisbrook to....I am the east coast collector and will also be sending "blocks in bulk" to Wilma in OZ. Thanks to all wonderful quilters who participate! Darlene Dunn 165 Miller Drive Naugatuck, CT 06770 |
Darlene, thanks for becoming the East Coast Distributor. :) I have some blocks I can send you. I'll get them together tonight.

I will have my hubby send a few in the mail this week. They aren't the fanciest, but I think they will help the cause!
