No empty shelves!
I enjoy being part of the constant flow of quilts that come and go from Wrap-A-Smile headquarters here in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. As quilts come in they are labeled and briefly stored until our shelves are filled. Then the packing fairies assemble to do their magic, getting an amazing number of quilts vacuum packed into boxes ready to ship to the medical missions.
At that point the shelves are empty but I have learned not to stress. Within days after our last shipment departed I had surprise inquiries: "Are you still needing quilts?" "I've been gathering quilts for you; when can we get together?" Truly a case of if you dream it, it will happen.
So the shelves are no longer empty thanks to Sandrea K who collected two bags of quilts from the Calico Guild in Yarmouth, Maine, and to Donna S of Buffalo, NY, who quilts for both WAS and Quilts Beyond Borders. Thank you ladies, and your quilting friends, for keeping our shelves filled.

The first two quilts are from Donna S, the others from Calico Guild members in Yarmouth, ME
These quilts will make many children's lives brighter and warmer. Thank you!
So many wonderful quilts! Scrappy, stars, rails, panels, pinwheels...and I love the rickrack on the last one! So fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! And I'm glad to see that we have nabbed Donna S. She is prolific! I see her name at QBB all the time. :-)
