So often we hear the call for help in disasters in far away places; now there’s one close to home. Hurricane Sandy has left many Americans homeless and in the cold. Quilters, as usual, are coming forward to blanket them in warmth and love. If you want to help, there are a number of different collection sites to send your quilts to.
Moda Fabrics is collecting quilts and blankets, homemade and store-bought: http://modafabrics.blogspot.com/2012/11/quilts-blankets-asap.html
EQuilter is heading up a drive for 5,000 quilts. Read about it here: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/quiltrelief.html
Bonnie K. Hunter posted this info on her blog “Quiltville” http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2012/11/more-quilts-for-sandy-survivors.html
If you have some time to make an extra quilt during this, the busiest time of year for a lot of us, or some extra dollars to buy a blanket during the most expensive time of year, give these sites a visit.
