Wrap A Smile Quilts

Such good news!  Not only is a Rotaplast team currently treating children in Guatemala, they are prepping for at least 4 more medical missions in 2023!  Doors and opportunities are opening.... and the backlog of children awaiting treatment is being addressed.  These pictures of 'quilts in action' will make you smile (and keep you quilting!).  Your quilts have brought comfort and joy.... and I'm positive there's a happy new smile hidden behind that mask. 😀 Please go to Rotaplast.org for more of the story from Guatemala.  The mission is ongoing.
