A group of ladies - quilters and non-quilters - from my church here in Tokyo put together many, many of these simple tied quilts for a kindergarten in Tohoku, the region devastated last March 11 by the earthquake and tsunami.
I had minimal involvement myself but sometimes it's just satisfying to whip up a little project like this....
To add to a small but growing pile of hugs for these little ones who have experienced such trauma. The pile grew to 100 - some women worked like gangbusters and made many!
I'm also excited about a quilting project a small group of us are launching - our aim is to involve ex-pat and Japanese ladies from church in providing quilts for the "graduates" of a couple of orphanages here in Tokyo. That is next on my list and I will blog about it as our project unfolds...
