One of my Facebook friends Heike posted this on Sunday from her friend in Christchurch, New Zealand:<\/p>\n

"Our house is beyond repair – it is on a lean and has many cracks in every room. We have to walk uphill to get to the kitchen. On Tuesday we had a river running through the lounge and now have removed all the wet carpet and put most of the furniture back. We need to try and keep things as 'normal' as possible. We still have no power, water or sewerage and have been told it will be 1- 2 months before we get power. We are very lucky as we are all alive and well."<\/p>\n

If you feel compelled to help the earthquake victims of New Zealand, I'd like to share several links with you, sent in by customers and friends.<\/p>\n

**************
\nI would say that those affected by the earthquake need money to rebuild their lives and repair their homes, but here is an additional way to send your healing thoughts to those affected:<\/p>\n

Hello from New Zealand!
\nWe are asking for Hearts for the thousands of Christchurch earthquake victims. Not the usual hearts, but "Hanging Hearts". Two pieces of fabric, heartshaped, sewn together, lightly stuffed, and with a hanging loop of ribbon. These can be any size, any fabric, any style! I have made some by sandwiching batting and fabric and cutting around the outside with pinking shears.
\nWe will be arranging a venue where they can all be hung and people can come and take whichever one they like. If you would like to take part could you please send yours hearts to:<\/p>\n

Dorothy Smith
\nPO Box 357
\nStratford 4352, New Zealand<\/p>\n

Evie Harris
\n523 Main North Road
\nBay View, Napier 4104, New Zealand<\/p>\n

******
\nIn addition, a portion of eQuilter sales from our New Zealand Import collection will be donated to the New Zealand Red Cross for earthquake victims. (In addition to our usual 2% of sales donated to charity.)<\/p>\n
