A Gift to Lo

 

Today, this quilt is being sent to Lo. She works with my sister-in-law. Her husband recently passed away from cancer and she is quite lonely. It is our prayer that this quilt and lots of love from caring friends and family will help Lo experience healing and hope for a new life without her husband.

Monday's Quilt

 

This is the quilt that was sent to Kelly today. She has just left an abusive marriage and is in the process of starting over. This quilt will join her on her journey to a new safe life. Thanks to my friend Mary for recommending her.

For Jane

 

I used to teach 3rd. Imagine my surprise when one of my former third grade students (who is now a freshman at Calvin College!) wrote me and asked for a quilt for her friend Jane. Jane is pregnant, not what she was planning. She is confused and upset and needs comfort. I am praying that she makes good choices about her future and the future of her child....

For a Friend Deep in Grief

 

This quilt was given to a woman who works in my son's classroom. Her brother was murdered in Iran this week. I don't know all of the details but when I suggested to my 5 year old that we give her a quilt he was very excited. She looked so sad yesterday but accepted the quilt with a warm hug and a promise of prayers.

For a Family in Need

 

Laura recommended a family for today's quilt. Their home burned down around Christmas and are generally in a bad situation. Laura is delivering this quilt to them with a message of love and HOPE.

Thursday's Quilt

 

This quilt is being picked up and delivered to Rachel as I write this. I went to high school with Rachel. She had a serious complication during a gastric bypass surgery 2 months ago and ended up in a coma on a ventilator. Rachel has a beautiful singing voice and personality to match. She has a long road to full recovery. We are sending a little ray of HOPE her way!

A Quilt for Ann

 

This quilt will be delivered to Ann who was in a serious car accident a few weeks ago. She has a very long road ahead of her with many unanswered questions about her future. Her husband and two small children are anxiously waiting and watching her progress and we want to give them reason to HOPE.
