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. This last picture really speaks to me.  Can you imagine turning your child over to a stranger (who probably doesn't speak your language), to be taken behind closed doors for a surgery.  Your prayers are being answered but there's a normal anxiety. Then someone comes out and wraps your child in a beautiful hand-made quilt, before walking down that hall.... and you feel a quiet relief.   Thank you to all our...

Continuing our collaboration with Quilts Beyond Borders , all the quilts pictured below were delivered this fall to Comfort Cases .  Many thanks to the piecers and quilters who provided these warm hugs to kids as they start a new life with their foster families.  Even though our quilters don't get to meet the recipients of their quilts, they can know that their gifts of time and love have made someone else's life a little warmer, and a little happier.   As they say, "it takes a village".....  and we are always happy to welcome new friends into our village of quilters.  Please help us pass the word.  Let us know if you know others who would like to get involved with this wonderful work.  I can be reached at:   quilts7780@gmail.com  for more information. ~Ann
