it is wonderful when people rally together to make something like this happen, if only I lived near by I would have loved to be involved but a bit far from the UK
ReplyDeleteWow. That is really spectacular. I had no idea the place existed and it is such a wonderful thing to be doing. If I lived close enough i would certainly be there to help out as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an awesome ministry! I know these quilts are filled with lots of love and prayers in every stitch.
