Dear Friends,
We had great fun taking your quilts to Comfort Cases earlier this month. You guys are truly amazing - you created 85 quilts (in a month!) for the organization that provides filled backpacks to children entering the foster care system. We were truly impressed with the organization, and appreciated the opportunity to volunteer for a bit while we were there. When we were done we did what any fabric lover would do, we looked for the closest quilt shop! We were a pretty good size crowd by the time we entered Capital Quilts. The four year old in the group made himself right at home. He picked out bolts he wanted, directed his aunt to carry the ones he thought were too heavy, and then went to the cutting table. A most gracious staff member handed his fat quarters over as she cut them - he let her know he would fold them himself… He shook each one out, laid it on the floor, folded it in half, in half again, in half yet again,... I swear he has never seen us fold fat quarters in the shop, yet he got them almost exactly the same as those we fold. Do you think it could be a genetic thing?! I figure I probably have to wait until he is at least six before hiring him!
Wishing you fun, surprising times with family and friends this week,
Mary Beth
