Quilts for Japan:
\nHere is my latest update from Mission of Love –<\/p>\n
Can we still send quilts for Japan to Mission of Love in Ohio? ~ YES – We will see to it that they get to the people in need in Japan. Cannot commit to any given time frame yet.<\/p>\n
Will we be doing a mission for the tornado victims and\/or flood victims? YES ~ Whatever we can do for the tornado victims and flood victims we will.<\/p>\n
Somehow, someway we need to continue our Comfort Quilts to Japan. If we have people who want to give, we must see to it that the people of Japan benefit from the generosity of the World quilters and let them know that the world does care and love them via eQuilter Comfort Quilts.<\/p>\n
We are now working on transportation and custom clearance for the quilts and other additional paperwork. All is staged and ready for transportation to the Cleveland Airport from our Mission of Love Warehouse. ( 8172 pounds – 2088 Comfort Quilts – Placed on 12 – 4′ by 4′ by 7′ wooden pallets.<\/p>\n
Know that WE will take care of the victims of the floods and tornado…..however you would like to start the process, we will make it happen.<\/p>\n

\nI will have some exciting news this coming week – but I am giving you a sneak peek before my official announcement:<\/p>\n
June 3-11, 2012
\nI will be leading a 9 day tour of IRELAND
\nwhich will include 2 days at the premier
\nInternational Quilt Festival of Ireland.<\/p>\n
This was announced yesterday when I gave the keynote at the SAQA conference in Denver, and I already have several people who want to sign up, so watch for the official details and sign up early!<\/p>\n
SAQA Conference
\nYesterday I gave a one hour presentation on “Vision to Reality – Living a Creative Life” to the annual SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Assoc) conference in Denver. One of my Facebook friends came all the way from Taiwan to hear my presentation and attend the conference! It was great to reconnect with so many wonderful quilt artists from around the country – and the world!<\/p>\n
Now I have to share another exciting email that I got from my friend Dr Jack Bacon at NASA in Houston. You may remember that last October I had dinner with a bunch of rocket scientists there from the Johnson Space Center chapter of Engineers Without Borders. eQuilter is funding their efforts in Rwanda, and I got to have dinner with an astronaut who is presently on the International Space Station.<\/p>\n
I emailed Jack to let him know we got our “Quilts for Japan” project off the ground –<\/p>\n
Jack wrote: “What an amazing effort: you continue to be my hero, time after time, and project after project. Ron Garan is up in space at the moment hosting our Endeavour buddies. He launched from Baikonur (Russia) about a month ago. I will relay a “hello” from you. (I can actually do that…) I’ll tell him about the quilts)”<\/p>\n
…So you can imagine how excited I was yesterday, knowing that my name and eQuilter’s “Quilts for Japan” was being discussed on the Space Station!<\/p>\n
Thanks for all of you who contributed to the 2088 quilts going out in this initial relief shipment. We’ll be announcing more about future shipments\/projects for Japan, tornado and flood survivors. I am truly humbled by the amazing outpouring of love and generosity that came with the first 2088 quilts.<\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong> Quilt Market Preview – Part 2 Here is the second installment of our Quilt Market Preview – watch for these collections to arrive in the next 2-4 months – to be announced in our weekly newsletters!
