The Healing Power of Helping Others

*
Today we had another Charity Sewing Day, and I have to commend the dedicated bunch who showed up today, to make quilts for those in need. One of the ladies brought in 4 quilts that she finished since the last Sewing Day. This batch is going to those who lost their homes to the volcano in Guatemala. (via Mission of Love)

One of these ladies has been fighting cancer for months. She's lost her hair since I saw her last, but she says she's feeling better. She doesn't have the strength to come for the whole day, but she works from home on our charity quilts, and brings them in as they are finished. She says it keeps her mind off other things, when she is making quilts for those dealing with natural disaster or poverty or illness.

This last week was so much fun having Lea McComas and her two workshops in our classroom. We are planning for her to come back for a 5 day advanced class next summer - stay tuned!

Our next featured workshop will be MJ Kinman's Gemstone Quilts on Oct 6-7. The link to the discounted hotel rates is at the bottom of the workshop page here. Next week we will have fat quarter packets that go with her Birthstone Patterns.

Before starting eQuilter, I studied classical portrait oil painting, and attended a weekly figure painting group with a live model for 15 years. So I have a great appreciation for portrait and figurative artwork. Washington Crossing the Delaware is a huge painting in the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York, and I have spent many hours over the decades, looking at this painting. I was thrilled to see the image available as a large digital printed panel, and this week it is in stock at eQuilter. The frame for this painting is 12' x 21' but when you are sitting in front of it, it just seems impossibly heroic and massive.

This Tuesday Mission of Love is sending their 64th Denton Program Airlift, this time for volcano victims in Guatemala. We are shipping out a big batch of comfort quilts to MOL on August 1st for the next airlift to Guatemala on August 12. If you are local you can drop off donated quilts to our office by Aug 1, and if you are not local please ship them directly to Mission of Love to arrive by Aug 5. (the quilts and all other relief supplies have to be palletized and processed in advance of the shipment). Add a label with a message of love on the back, and be sure to send with a tracking number because MOL is unable to send confirmations for packages received.
