I sent the first 6 quilts home today with my friend whose husband is on standby to fly to Japan. As soon as he gets the call, those 6 quilts will be on their way to the kids of Japan. We are working on making some drawstring bags to hold 10 quilts at a time because the pilots are going to be carrying the bags of quilts onto the planes themselves and it will be much easier to grab a bag of quilts and throw them onto the plane when you are in a hurry and not have to worry about setting them down carefully.
My friend Carla got some crazy fabric donated that feels like it is a bit waterproof. Perfect for this project. And there is about 10 yards of it! And I think she said it is NEON green. Don't forget the quilts! How could you?
I love it when a plan comes together...do you remember who used to say that? George Peppard from the A Team. I pitty the fool...that was Mr. T.
Ok, it's getting late and I have grades due on Monday and of course I haven't graded anything in a week so I have a whole weekend of grading ahead of me. Come rescue me if you don't hear from me in the next 48 hours.
I have lots of packages to post too! Thank you so much for your support on this project! Quilters are such special people!
I woke up this morning thinking I will announce tomorrow at church service that I have a source for getting quilts to Japan (YOU!) and will have open sewing the next few Saturdays to work together on them.
ReplyDeleteI also thought, "It's great when you just know something is coming together in a right way!"
That is so cool. Glad it's all coming together!
