A riot of color

Picking up quilts for Wrap-A-Smile is a happy excuse to venture out and break up the routine of our stay-at-home days. Last week I was in Unity, Maine, where friend Polly (see blog post of Nov 18, 2019) gave me 27 quilts, all made by her - start to finish - since I last saw her in February. It's a good thing we're not a competitive group as her 6-month total is now 56 quilts for WAS!! That would be hard to beat. Go, Polly, go!!

Polly often works in pairs, making two of a design, but never identical. A sampling of her bounty is posted here.

Even though medical missions are still on hold due to COVID-19 I am happily storing these quilts until we can send them off to comfort the children who have so inspired Polly.

Yesterday took me to a favorite quilt shop in Nobleboro, Maine, where I met new friend Sue to receive her 2 beautiful quilts for WAS. A new friend, more quilts, and time in a fabric store.....who could ask for more?!

Thank you Polly and Sue for your generosity in creating these works of art for the children.
