Just wanted to let you know that one of my church friends told her patchworker friend about the Ugandan Quilt project.

Well, today at church, Joan my friend arrived with 7 quilts from her friend Dianne Williams. To say I was overwhelmed is an understatement!!!!!

I am at the moment putting her name on them all and will post them in the PROJECTS section later this afternoon.

I just wanted to let you know about it. Ask and you shall receive! Love and blessings Chris

Oh my Goodness, Chris! I haven't been to projects yet to see them, But I am so amazed! 7 quilts! That is just so wonderful! I think we are going to be able to send the whole 90!!! I have been trying not to panic, to just keep trusting that God knows our need, and then what a wonderful surprise! Seven!! Will you need help with postage to get them here??? That is probably going to be way expensive. At this point I only have $20 available to send you. But, we can pray about postage... I am just flabbergasted - I'm wondering if that is the same thing as gobsmacked? God is soooooo, or sew Good!! And so are your friends! Hugs, Jan I will send a Thank You to them too!

You will love them, once you've seen them, they are just adorable. So vibrant and I can just picture the children's faces when they see all that is to be seen on them. Love Chris

Di is not from our church. Joan Hall is my friend and Di is her friend. Joan told me that Di was going to do 4 quilts for us. I was blown away when she told me she had done 7. God is good! Love Chris

I agree, not to mention the amount of time and effort she must have spent putting them together. Love Chris

I just viewed the quilts and they are such a joy to look at, and you can feel the love in every stitch.
Please let her know how wonderful her quilts are and
how much they are going to be loved by the children.
Simply amazing work.

Hugs to you Auzzie Girls-Great Job.
