At Sunshine we make quilts for kids; we send the quilts to two different programs: Wrap a Smile and Quilts Beyond Borders. Wrap a Smile gives quilts to kids following cleft lip/cleft palate surgery. One of the surgical programs (Rotaplast) is currently in Egypt doing surgeries, and posting pictures from time to time. This picture shows a child after surgery wrapped in a quilt. I could see some familiar pieces of fabric. Tammy identified the quilt.
My friend, Tammy, collects our blocks and makes them into finished quilts. So... this quilt is one for which I made five of the blocks -- the big four-patches, and Tammy finished up and sent to Wrap a Smile. And now there it is, cuddling a child.
This feels really good.. I get to see some of my work doing what it's meant to do. I am hoping for more familiar fabrics and quilts before this mission in Egypt is finished. Stay tuned.
Hooray!! It makes me so happy to think of your blocks and Tammy's work helping a child feel warm and safe :)
