Quilts for a Cause

My blog for posting what I am doing to assist those in need with quilts. It is my hope that those that read my postings and see my quilts will be led/compelled to reach out and help me to help those in need. My projects have included Hurricane Rita and Katrina victims, breast cancer patients, new moms, children, the homeless and prisoners.

Get us out of here!

Help us please! There has to be someone out there (a philantropist, rich grandparent, rancher, etc.) someone who is willing to take pity on two struggling grandparents raising 3 grandchildren in this heat!

How bad is it? Oh Please, you did not just ask me that!! Yesterday while going to the UPS store to mail quilts off, the babies (3,4 & 5) were crying (real tears) that their legs and heads were burning while walking through the parking lot. Hello, 114 is air hot, not the heat that comes up off the pavement where the asphalt is probably closer to 130. Today, it is 118.

Anyone have a timeshare they want to donate on the beach? I'll take the mountains, just someone please get us out of here!! These poor little ones only get out after dark each evening, please someone give us a 2 day pass to Disneyland.

With that out of the way, I have worked all day on Gloria's quilt and should have it tied and done by tomorrow which means early next week I will be able to get it off to the UPS store to her. By the way the UPS lady gave me a coupon for 10% off shipping through the month of July, so I should be able to save a few dollars and that is always a blessing.

I wonder, if I stood out on the side of the road holding up some of my quilts if anyone would buy one or two of them, or would they think I was crazy? My luck, I would go to jail for loitering.

'Nuf said for today. Hello, anyone out there really reading this stuff?
