Our charity program was inspired by your altruism, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/about\/charity?fn=nl_20190907193530\">together\nwe&#8217;ve built a philanthropic force<\/a> that saves lives and fights for the\nenvironment. Does that sound good to you? Then this is the place for you. <br><br>\nLast week I was contacted by one of our customers in Australia. She was touched\nby a story I posted on my Facebook page. She wanted to donate purchased fabric\nfor a Catholic community that is housing migrants on the border, that is making\nquilts for these families. We are adding to her purchase and filling up a box\nto go to these quilters at the Kino Border Initiative. If you live in the\nNogales AZ area, perhaps you would like to help them? <br><br>\nQuilters are asking us if they can make quilts for the Bahamas. Honestly what\nthese people need now is life-saving disaster relief&#8230;food water clothing\nmedicine and temporary housing. I am contacting our relief partners and seeing\nwho has a reputable contact who we can work with because the recovery will go\non for a long time. <br><br>\nThis week my &#8220;Mothers of the World&#8221; quilt was installed at the Peace\nTech Lab, part of the US Institute of Peace in Washington DC. Many thanks to\nLisa Ellis and Barbara Hollinger from Sacred Threads, who took on the\ninstallation project for me! Our Charity Sewing Group is making quilts for a\nPeace Tech Lab project in India. We are making sleeping mats for teenage girls\nwho sleep on slabs of cardboard in a Mumbai slum. <br><br>\nYesterday I went to downtown Denver to speak at a formal EPA hearing about\nworsening air quality and ozone levels in the Denver\/Front Range area. You can\nread about this on my personal Facebook page. I speak on behalf of all those\nwho have respiratory issues due to air pollution. <br><br>\nIn addition to the 7 charities list on your checkout page, we also give money\nto special projects such as hurricane disaster relief. Our comfort quilt\nprojects (in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/amissionoflove\/\">Mission\nof Love<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/albums\/72157625856093938\">Engineers\nWithout Borders<\/a>, and many quilt guilds) have distributed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/collections\/72157710742701423\/\">over\n14,000 quilts<\/a> to those in need over the last 20 years. Will you join us? <br><br>\nThank you for telling your friends about our charitable projects &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/about\/charity?fn=nl_20190907193530\">we\nappreciate your support<\/a>! <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%2F5730&#038;t=Our%20Brand%20is%20Compassion&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5730&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F09%2FNCTSIAMA_MD-1.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Our%20Brand%20is%20Compassion\" 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%2F5730&#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%2F5730&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F09%2FNCTSIAMA_MD-1.jpg&#038;description=Our%20Brand%20is%20Compassion\" 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%2F5730&#038;title=Our%20Brand%20is%20Compassion\" 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>20 years ago, after leaving the fashion industry, I started this business with my husband Paul, because I fell in love with big-hearted quilters and the quilting industry.
