Hi, Kyra...
So many quilts lost in this devastation. I read the article to see if there was a Haitian museum
with quilt displays. Happily, there are quilts here in states safe in Vermont and other places.
We will need to send some quilts to our brothers and sisters in Haiti, then, lya. :) Will sales of this book help, even if indirectly, the people of Haiti?
Thank you Kyra for posting this which gives those of us who are quilters in the U.S. opportunity to keep our sister quilters in Haiti in our hearts as quilt in the coming days.
Do you know of any groups where artist/crafters can donate an item to benefit the people in Haiti,
Thanks
Thank you Kyra for posting this and reminding us just how blessed we are today to be standing. Do you have any info on how to get quilts to our sistahs in Haiti? Please send to Zuri Quilting Guild of Nashville.
