Do you remember that song from...the 70's I think? (Totally dating myself...oh well...the gray hairs announce me before I ever walk into a room, I suppose.) Anyway, I was giving a little concert in my car this afternoon, as I do from time-to-time, and it seemed the perfect song to plagirize for my title to this Quilt Haiti update post.
Because, seriously, people from all over the world sent quilts, are sending quilts, are starting a love train full of quiltie love to send to Haiti.
I am jumping up and down and just all a-wiggle with the absolute joy this project has brought me. Completely self-full, I know, but I can't help it. This project has done my heart good, baby!
Rebecca leaves soon for her trip to Haiti, and she has promised lots of photos of beautiful people receiving beautiful quilts. These wonderful, love-laden quilts that came from Canada, Japan, and all over the United States! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
And there were stuffed rabbits, quilted baby balls, and little notes of love and support. So many gifts. I won't lie to you; I shed many-a-tear opening up these boxes, seeing the quilts and goodies, all the hard work that went in to them, yes, but all of the compassion and caring, too. What a gift it was for me to witness all of this. Thank you so much.
It was with sheer delight that I was the keeper of your quiltie love treasures until the time came to mail them off to Rebecca. Soon they will be in her hands to pass along to our new friends in Haiti.
What a beautiful thing you all have done. Thank you so, so much.
And here's double-good-news: Rebecca will be making a return trip to Haiti later in the summer. So, if you missed out on this first round, fear not, my friends, there's still time to jump on the Quiltie Love Train. Join hands. Stitch quilts. Send love. Lots and lots of quiltie love.
