Here is a follow up letter from one of the organizers for the Christchurch hearts project. As you can see, they are receiving many hearts, which I consider as fiber art greeting cards to give support and encouragement.
*************
Hello Luana,
Thank you for putting my letter about the earthquake in Christchurch ,New
Zealand, on your blog. It was very much appreciated. All the hanging
hearts we have received from around the world are wonderful and much
appreciated.
So far we have over 1000 hanging hearts on hand which is just marvelous! I
know that there are still more to come! Plans are in hand for the hanging
of the hearts in Christchurch. It will be awesome to see them all displayed
in one place and available for people to take.
www.heartsforchristchurch.blogspot.com will take to a display of the hearts
so far received.
Many people who have businesses in the CBD (and in other areas) cannot go
there as there is still a lot of danger from falling masonry etc. A lot of
homes are not habitable and the infrastructure of the city has been
seriously compromised. Many Heritage buildings have been lost. It is going
to take a long time to get back to where things were before the ‘quakes.
Again, many thanks to everyone who has given. We can still take more
hearts!
