Update on Calling All Quilters

Don't you love it when something comes together so perfectly...I do! Saturday I reached out to the Baltimore MQG in regards to the quilts needed for the head start program. Also, a few days before I was contacted by a Natalie, president of the DC MQG offering their assistance with the needs of the program. I am so happy to say that the Baltimore MQG, along with the help of their DC neighbor is taking over this effort, and will be running the show from their part of the world. Heather, the B'more MQG prez and my Melissa are getting together, going to the center to do an inventory of the boy/girl quilts received to determine what is still required. We still need lots of quilts, but now we will have someone there to be hands-on and let us know more accurately what they need.  Also, the B'more MQG has graciously offered to adopt the head start program as their guilds official charity ♥♥♥ If there are any modernish, contemporaryish, 'the traditional guild setting is not right for me' kinda quilter, hop on over, and join in Baltimore or DC's growing, wonderful modern quilt guilds.

Thanks to all of you that have sent quilts, or are sending quilts to this cause. I think what has touched me the most are the numerous emails and comments that I have received from you, saying that you had a little quilt on hand, but didn't know where it's home was, and now you do! What a beautiful pairing that is, to fit the right quilt with the right person or cause. I know all of our hearts are broken over the devistation in Japan...I'm looking forward to participating in some meaningful way when it is determined what they need most.

xoxo,

Thanks for the update on the quilting project. I'm glad a local guild will be taking it on. I'm finishing up the quilting on a "boy" quilt I started when you first posted. I hope to get it in the mail tomorrow.
