Photos from the Dominican Republic







Many quilting buddies contributed children's quilts for me to take with me on a recent business trip to the Dominican Republic. The area where our plant is located was hit hard by flooding and many families lost all their possesions. The plant manager help distribute about 30 quilts...here are a few pictures he sent me this morning. Some went to a girl's orphanage down the street from our facility and others to the local hospital. Thank You so much to everyone that sent a quilt with me. Here is a quote from our plant manager "their love gave lots of warmth to many children in need and also to the many of us blessed by getting it to them on their behalf and yours"

Wow. That's the best feeling. You know that look the Grinch has on his face when his heart grows? (the original cartoon grinch of course) That's me, right now.

Wow.

Thank you for the opportunity to help out.
