Quilts for Japan Update

Hello All,
Here is some updated info for any quilts to Japan. Please note address which cannot received quilts until the end of April.

After the end of April,please send the quilts to:
Naomi Ichikawa, Editor
Patchwork Tsushin Co., Ltd.,
2-21-2, Yushima, Bunkyo-ku
Tokyo, JAPAN 113-0034
I will appreciate if you help me. Nao
Note from Patricia Cummings:

When mailing any quilts, it is important to NOT write the word “Quilt” anywhere on the outside of the package, if you want a better chance of it reaching its destination.
As you know, quilters always step up to the plate when there is a critical need for “comfort quilts” such as those being requested in the letter. I am re-posting this note, so that you will have addresses in Japan to send quilts. As she said, any size is acceptable and they can be for babies or adults. Please help, if you can. If you can’t make a quilt, please help spread the word by re-posting this note to your guild or group page or Facebook page.

Back Popular Demand

 Hello Quilters
Don't fall over from surprise, two blogs in one day! 


Back by popular demand, Black and White Delight pattern and Fat Quarter Bundles. When we unveiled these items at our Phoenix show in January, they sold out almost instantly.


I love working with black and white fabrics as well as throwing in a splash of red from time to time. So I wanted to design a pattern using a variety of these fabrics. I also love when one pattern shows you different techniques and seeing how I was the one writting the pattern, I figured that is exactly what I was going to do. SOOOOO here it is:


 

My new pattern Black and White Delight pattern includes instructions to make a table runner and four place mats OR the wallhanging quilt using eleven fat quarters and 2-1/2 yards of Kona Black Fabric for the borders, binding and backings.
We have a limited number of Fat Quarter Bundles that include nine black and white prints or Red/Black and White prints (shown below) and one fat quarter of each Kona Black and Kona White. The Black and White Delight pattern is included with each bundle for FREE ($9.00 value)

Black and White Delight fat quarter bundles with pattern are $29.95 with free shipping.

Quilts for Japan



Hello All,
I just read this blog post on The Quilter Magazine website and wanted to pass it on to all our friends. As we watch the horrible events unfolding in Japan and many of us wonder what can we do to help, Here is a way, donate a quilt. I have always felt being wrapped in a quilt is like getting a hug from someone who cares. Well here is our chance to let the Japanese know the world cares for their suffering. So please consider sending a quilt to Japan and pass this on to your quilting groups. Thanks for listening.


Dear Quilters: It is still bad situation now in Japan. We are still nervous about shaking and radiation, but no way to escape. I start to announce to the quilters to send us comfort quilts for the people who are suffered. I would like to [ask] the world quilters. We will deliver the comfort quilts to the people who are very difficult situation. Could you please help to announce it to the quilters? We accept any size of quilts (baby to adult), new or unused.

After the end of April,please send the quilts to:
