At the same\ntime Kathy Price and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/amissionoflove\/\">Mission\nof Love<\/a> is on the Native American reservation in Pine Ridge SD,\ndistributing a previous batch of quilts to the Lakota Girls School &#8230;quilts\nthat were made in our eQuilter classroom, and in the homes of our sewing group.\n<br><br>\nThis morning I received an email from Kathy that she had given a group of\nquilts to a family who had just lost a baby due to a breach birth and Caesarean\ngone wrong. It is a heartbreaking loss and our sewing group was glad to know\nthat their loving stitches could give some comfort to this family. Paul and I\nsuffered a loss like this 23 years ago, and that was the inspiration for our\neQuilter Charity Program, which has now raised over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/about\/charity?fn=nl_20190601193524\">$1.6 million<\/a>\nfor a variety of organizations, with a focus on children, the environment, and\nbreast cancer research. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/about\/charity?fn=nl_20190601193524\">We thank you\nfor supporting our business, so together we can help others.<\/a><br><br>\nOur next deadline for donated quilts will be in late August. Kathy will be\ngoing back to Pine Ridge Sept 1, so you can drop them off to eQuilter by Aug 15\nif you are in our area, or you can ship them directly to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/amissionoflove\/\">Mission of Love<\/a> to arrive\nby late August. <br><br>\nYesterday I went to hear Jeananne Wright&#8217;s presentation on Oregon Trail Quilts,\nat the historic Hover Mansion in Longmont Colorado. Jeananne has collected 800\nvintage\/historic quilts, and gives lectures on a variety of quilt history\ntopics. I posted photos from the presentation on my Facebook page. After she\nspoke, I gave a brief talk about my quilt &#8220;Rocky Mountain Poison&#8221;\nwhich has come home after traveling in the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/albums\/72157666555024431\">Water\nis Life<\/a>&#8221; exhibit. (Which started at the United Nations in Geneva.)\nI&#8217;ve had 3 weekends in a row hanging out with quilters &#8211; I feel so blessed. <br><br>\nSophie&#8217;s high school orchestra is touring and performing in Europe for 2 weeks.\nToday we watched a Facebook Live feed of the orchestra performing in a historic\ntheater in Feltre Italy. Normally Sophie would be at our Charity Sewing group,\nbut today the ladies watched the live performance on my laptop, and we marveled\nthat modern technology allowed us to watch this performance live! <br><br>\nsharing your Passion for Fabric&#8230; <br>\nLuana and Paul \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<strong>Share Post:<\/strong><br><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5420&#038;t=From%20the%20Heart&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5420&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F06%2FRUANIABM_MD.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=From%20the%20Heart\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5420&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-pinterest nolightbox\" data-provider=\"pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5420&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F06%2FRUANIABM_MD.jpg&#038;description=From%20the%20Heart\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pinterest\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/pinterest.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5420&#038;title=From%20the%20Heart\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today our Charity Sewing Group gathered to make comfort quilts for those in need.
