A beautiful thank you for you all!
The following is a thank you note from Barbara, my contact at Welcome NST, regarding the quilts you made for Afghan refugee children in Massachussetts and New Hampshire.
“ OMG. The quilts are so so so so lovely. They are art and love and craft - all rolled into comfort. I keep taking them out of the bags and laying them out so I can admire them and run my hands over their beauty. My dining room is a sea of quilts. What I particularly love is how each one expresses the artistic spirit of each craftswoman. The choice of fabric, the design, the work-woman-ship. It is so lovely.
I have already given them to the team leaders for 7 teams and I will get the rest out to the other families before March 4. Plus I have found new families for more of them and am sure in the full expanse of time will be in the hands of Afghan kids who will take great pleasure in them.
It is so little compared to your gift and that of your team, but THANK YOU!!
My favorite saying is “when you pray, move your feet.” Maybe I should extent that to include “when you pray, move your hands.” That saying works if you are a God person or not. It is all about love. Thank you.”
Thank you , Paige, for initiating this contact with the Afghani refugees and for keeping us posted about the collaboration between Wrap-A-Smile and Quilts Beyond Borders. So happy to know are quilts are spreading comfort and goodwill!
