When small things become a big thing...

As someone who was raised to not waste, and as a committed recycler today, I have a particular fondness for scrappy quilts.

My friend Rebecca from Edgecomb, Maine, made this tumbler quilt for Wrap-A-Smile using a variety of fabrics that might otherwise have been tossed. She claimed it didn’t take long as she used an Accuquilt cutter, but I see many hours of generous labor to create a gift of love for a child she will never meet. And yes, she has made multiples of these! Thank you Rebecca for being part of our Wrap-A-Smile community.

And string quilts can be endlessly creative. Here is one gifted to Wrap-A-Smile from Calico Quilt Guild in Yarmouth, Maine. Another bright and cheerful creation that will wrap a child in comfort both before and after their surgery. I’m so glad all these little “leftovers” found their way into a quilt.
