Quilts for Tsunami survivors

   Yesterday I began sewing quilt tops for tsunami survivors.
   A group of sewing volunteers are providing the labor for quilts to be distributed by Mission of Love.  They will ship the quilts and medical supplies to Japan.
   Sue Jerin  of the Viking Sewing Gallery in the Hudson, Ohio Jo Ann Fabrics has organized this project.  The precut fabric was donated, and we volunteers provide the labor.  The Viking gallery provides machines for those who wish to sew in store.
   I've chosen to sew  at home.
   These bright, cheerful fabrics are fun to use ! Here is a chance to help & create. The quilts are mainly meant to be utilitarian, but what fun it is to design your own pattern.
   Could there be a more enjoyable way to help others?
   In a few days I'll post pictures of the results- sure to be unusual!
