Quilts in India
A Rotaplast mission is finishing up in India. I found these pictures at their blog. They may be Sunshine quilts or may be from another source, but these are representative of why we make quilts and for whom. We're trying to keep the world warm.... one quilt at a time!
Sunshine Quilters Online Guild makes quilts for children and teens all around the world. We work with two programs: Wrap-A-Smile and Wrap Them in Love.
Wrap-A-Smile is part of a Rotary program called Rotaplast. Rotaplast sends volunteer medical teams worldwide to perform free cleft lip/cleft palate surgery on children. After surgery each child gets a quilt to warm up in and to keep.
Wrap Them in Love is a quilt donation program headquartered in Mt. Vernon, Washington. Wrap Them in Love is an official 501(c)3 non-profit organization. They send quilts to orphanages worldwide. To go to their website, click on their url under Links below.
Quilts are collected on a continuous basis. Both programs send quilts regularly; the need is on-going.
We welcome new members at any time, and encourage everyone to share the love, warmth, and fun of quilting for others!
BLOCK LOTTO
We do a monthly block lotto.. half the blocks are donated to Sunshine for children's quilts. The other half is given to a winner whose name is drawn at the end of the month. For details, please post a comment at this blog or send an email to the address listed below in Updates to Blog.
