Belated, but sincere

Shortly before our daily lives turned upside down, Wrap-A-Smile hosted a collaborative day of sewing together at the Boothbay Harbor Rotary clubhouse.  It's a large room so there was plenty of space to spread out with our machines, ironing stations and various projects.

Quilts were started, some were finished, and a good time was had by all.  I want to personally thank everyone who made it such a special day. We probably did not totally appreciate at the time how special it can be to share a group experience.  I suspect all of us who participated are still sewing at home, but I for one am missing the in-person camaraderie.  Thank you all for your generosity in continuing to create quilts for the children and others helped by the medical missions. And thank you for the friendships created through this joint effort.

Thank you Ann

Thank you Marie

Mr. Wrap-A-Smile (sherpa and #1 WAS supporter) brought all the quilts from home, then stayed at the end of the day to help vacuum pack 177 for Rotaplast and Alliance for Smiles.  Thank you also to quilt packer extraordinaire Jan who stopped on her way to her birthday dinner to help us get those boxes filled.  

 Apologies to anyone who missed being in a picture. I know who you are! (And you are appreciated!)
