Wrap A Smile Quilts

Another longtime contributor to Wrap-A-Smile , and Rotaplast , is Tammy S in Texas.  Long before I ever knew about these organizations, Tammy was busy making her gifts of love to comfort these special patients.  Tammy is a member of the Sunshine Online Quilt Guild whose members support a variety of initiatives where comfort quilts serve as a warm hug and which let the recipients know that they are not forgotten. Her recent shipment for WAS contained this variety of fun colorful quilts. (Be sure to scroll to the bottom...there is a # that will astound you!) A scrappy quilt using colors of the Olympic flags A temperature quilt (Tammy has the code) Modeled after an afghan she admired A scrappy quilt made from a pattern in an antique scrap book Another modeled after a design in the antique scrapbook And the last two....just for fun I recently asked Tammy if she knew how many quilts she had made for WAS. She responded that over her quilting lifetime she had given away 1244 quilts ...

Another happy box of 42 quilts for Wrap-A-Smile just arrived from upstate New York.  The sewing group run by Kim V and Linda S has been contributing quilts to us for more than 20 years!  Kim and Linda, who lead a group of sewists at Zion United Methodist Church in Macedon, New York, have also brought many others into our network over the years.  We are so thankful both for the loyalty of our longtime contributors, and for those who continue to spread the word to increase the number of quilters who help us. Since 2001, WAS has made sure that every Rotaplast patient is wrapped in a comfort quilt at the time of their life-changing surgery….30,000 quilts and counting….a remarkable achievement!! For more of the backstory, here is Kim’s post from 6 years ago, sharing how she and her group learned about WAS.  http://wrapasmilequilts.blogspot.com/2018/11/a-quilters-story.html Enjoy the latest quilt show from NY        Thank you to all who support Wrap-...
