This week's feature quilting cause is Wrap Them in Love Foundation. They collect donated quilts and distribute them to children around the world, so they can be wrapped in love and comfort. The foundation feels that a quilt is a very special thing. It isn't just a blanket; it has been lovingly created by a real person. A quilter leaves a part of themselves in every quilt they make. The child who receives it will be able to snuggle up in all the love that comes in that quilt.
Their guidelines are simple:
- Make a quilt or quilts and send or deliver them to:
Wrap Them in Love
2522-A Old Hwy 99 S
Mt. Vernon, WA 98273
USA - Tie or quilt them fairly close so that they can hold up to lots of loving and washing.
- Quilts of 40" X 60" size are recommended, but you can make them any size. There are older children as well as babies who need them.
- Please be sure to put a label on each quilt that includes your name, where you are from, and the date you made the quilt.
The web site includes some wonderful pictures of children that have received these quilts.
I know a lot of quilters make quilts as gifts. Why not make one as a gift for a child in need?
