Our first Quiltathon! And a milestone!
Last Saturday an enthusiastic group of quilters from three local guilds joined Rotarians at the Rotary Clubhouse in Boothbay Harbor to produce hand made quilts for Wrap-A-Smile. It was a day of shared purpose, friendship and community collaboration to create quilts for children undergoing cleft lip and cleft palate repair.
Many of the quilters also brought finished quilts to donate to Wrap-A-Smile.
With the number of quilts produced from the Quiltathon, and another 15 quilts donated by quilters from the Boothbay Community Center, Wrap-A-Smile has now shared over 25,000 (yes, twenty five thousand!) quilts worldwide. As a visual, 25,000 quilts would cover 7 football fields, quite an amazing statement by the many generous quilters from all over the country who donate to Wrap-A-Smile.

Wow!! What a milestone! Congratulations to everyone who contributed all those amazing quilts!
