Last week Mr. Wrap-A-Smile and I visiting Friends and Stitches ,  the  Seacoast, NH, sewing group whom we met last spring. As mentioned in my April 14th post, they were committing an entire year of sewing to creating quilts for our project.  And quilt they did!!  After another wonderful luncheon they helped us load 55 more quilts into our car for the trip back to Maine.  That means 55 more children who will be wrapped in the comfort of a colorful quilt during a time that is both wonderful and life-changing,  but very stressful.  Those quilted hugs really make a difference! Thank you Susan and friends. A huge surprise was learning that these wonderful ladies are committing to sewing AGAIN...all next year...just for us!  Knowing where these quilts are going, and feeling confident about our stewardship of their donations, inspired them to continue being part of the Wrap-A-Smile family.  This will be a huge help as we work towards our goal of gathering nearly 2000 quilts per y
