Some Good News! Video of Uganda orphans with their new quilts! You may have to search for Thank You Quilters, since the link rarely works.

I'm going to try to upload some of the photos from their video! It only would accept 3... I'll upload the rest I can in Projects :-) Hugs, Jan

It did take a few months - but worth every minute! What an experience and I'm so thankful for all the help from Cuties around our world! I'm also really relieved they made it safely and are in the arms of the children.

Oh Jan,
I just can't stop smiling. What a beautiful video and the music is wonderful-wonder who is singing-its so uplifting.
It stirs my heart to see the happiness and love spread all over the childrens faces. I even saw a couple of things I made and it touched me deeply to see the recipient so happy. Those little girls are beautiful and so cute in there little dresses.
This is a wonderful loving project all cuties around
the world have accomplished. This is what being a cutie is all about! Proud and humbled to belong.
Oh yes again big Hugs to Pavel for getting all these quilts over to the children and all this young
man is accomplishing and to Jan for bringing this opportunity to us cuties to participate. Its been a great journey of learning, sharing and love.
Hugs to all,
Linda aka Bumblebee

I have made a t-shirt for Pavel that has a pretty pink elephant he should like. I'll post it in projects. Isn't he just too amazing? Cuties really know how to sew love in every stitch!
Incredible amount of beautiful designs too!

Thank you, Jan, for posting.....it was worth the wait!! The smiles on their faces are absolutely priceless. It sounds as though they are attempting to buy the land. I certainly hope they are successful. What a wonderful safe place that will be for the children.

I think they were able to buy it from a grant from someone in the US, because of Pavel being there at the time! They got a $20,000 grant for land so they can grow crops!

Jan, WOW, what a wonderful opportunity we had to be Christ like and give these children Hope for the future. A long time priest friend of mine always says, "Jesus looks good in your clothes." Thank you!
The faces of these Children of God say it all. If we were more Christ like every day in our words and our actions what a wonderful world this would be. "Bless you my sister" Hugs and Love Cindy B.

What an absolutely heartwarming set of pictures. Look at these happy faces. They needed an act of kindness. They didn't have to have the latest and greatest of electronics or fancy gifts. They received the gift of love, and are genuine in their responses. Thank you for sharing. This has been a most wonderful experience!!!!

Wow! Jan I've just been onto YOUTUBE and saw the video. I've been crying ever since - the joy on those children's faces just wells so much emotion in me that I couldn't help myself. What an awesome privilege it was to make a few quilts for these kids. And I saw one of my gorgeous little dresses on one of the littlies. God bless all who helped in any way. Love and blessings Chris
