Quilts for Japan

Those that were affected by the tsunami, are without electricity, clothes and warm blankets/quilts.

I belong to a crafting group and one of the magazines we subscribe to, are working with their Japanese counterparts to get quilts made and sent  from the U.S. They needs them for babies, kids and adults.

If you are interested in sending quilts, please send them to:

• Mark your box: “Quilts for Japan.”

• Send quilts as soon as possible and no later than April 30, 2011.

• Enclose your name, address, phone number and email with the quilts.

You can go to the Postal Service and their large box, fits two, maybe three good sized quilts, (if folded tightly), that can be sent for very little money. I cut and pasted the rates from the USPS site.

Because this is a donation, everything can be used for your taxes next year, so keep all your receipts. Like when creating a quilt, every little bit helps.
