Flood In Cedar Rapids
Kaye England of Kaye England Publications, sent out a call for help for other not-so-fortunate quilters who lost everything in the flood:
QUILTERS HELPING VICTIMS: We are keeping all the flood victims in our thoughts and our good friend Jill Reicks at Pine Needles Sewing Center in Cedar Rapids Iowa has agreed to be a clearing house for donations to assist those that lost everything. We ask you to look about your sewing space - what do you have too much of, too many of, or just things you don’t use?Consider those that lost everything and we would ask you to send anything you are willing to part with to Jill. She and her staff will make sure that all of these items fall in the hands of those that need them most.
After this event, I looked about my sewing room and wondered what I would do if everything in it was lost. I would hope my first thought would be that all people were safe, but I would be very sad to loose all of my goodies. It is a good chance for us to “play it ahead” and share with those that have lost everything. If you have anything you wish to share, books, threads, needles, patterns, notions or????
Then send to:
