I guess trying to start a club will be harder than I thought. :'(

I sent one with a young lady that is stationed here but is from there...she gave it to an elderly lady that was in the shelter with all she had left to her name..a small dog, a suitcase with clothes and a bag of papers....she said the lady cried for an hour and would not let go of her!
Now I am working on finding horse fabric to make two quilts for a couple of boys here in OK. Their family ran a Horse rescue and just lost everything..including 6 of the horses! The boys are devastated!

Also, with the note was a xerox copy of a photo...with a note written on it...we were hiding from the storm here...
There is nothing left but rubble. It looks like it might have been a bathroom at one time. I'm so happy that I sent that quilt.

Reading your post about the little girl gave me goose bumps and made me cry. It is really beyond comprehension what it must be like for them.
