I haven’t written in the past twenty-four hours. I’ve been sewing instead. I invited my sister, Penny, to come to my home along with about six other women. We spent the better part of last night and today making twenty-one quilt tops for humanitarian purposes. One actually got quilted. The other twenty will go to church next Thursday to be matched with backing and batting. The goal is for our stake’s (twelve LDS congregations) women’s auxiliary to finish sixty quilts by the end of the night. Because of recent disasters around the world there is a huge need for food, shelter and bedding. I feel good that I can help with the bedding part.

This is not to say I didn’t think about the book I’m currently writing. I did. I told a few people I was working with all about it. I must have made it sound fairly interesting because the people I told really want to read it now. Just curious, what are some of the things you’ve done for the displaced families around the world? I know there are so many ways to help. Quilt making is just one.
