Keira Sorrells, the founder of the Zoe Rose Memorial Foundation (Wrap Them in Roses' parent) is heading to Baptist Hospital tomorrow with a batch of quilts made by our volunteers. The quilts that are made in Massachussetts go to Children's Hospital and those outside of Massachusetts go to Mississippi. Thank you for making the delivery Keira, I hope it all goes well tomorrow :)

Material Girls Quilting Guild Sewing Event

The Material Girls event took place last Saturday up in Leominster (pronounced Lemonstir, I learned) and it was fantastic. Over 20 sewers attended the FULL DAY affair, they all brought a potluck lunch for between the morning and afternoon work sessions. They rented out a great work space in the New Life Church and they went into production! It was serious business, they had kits all ready, the sewing station, the cutting station, the ironing station all very organized. I was so impressed with both the thought and organization that went into the event as well as the attitude and kindness of the volunteers. I cannot thank this group enough for spending an entire day making Wrap Them in Roses quilts. And a special, special thanks to Mary Jane Handy for making the whole thing happen. I am looking forward to hearing what the final tally was. Thank you again Material Girls Quilters!

Thrilled to be working with Judy Weinberg from Temple Beth Shalom

I just got word from Judy Weinberg who is the social action co-chair at Temple Beth Shalom in Needham that they will be sewing quilts for Wrap Them in Roses on their day of service titled Tikkun Olam Day. Tikkun Olam, as translated from the Hebrew, 'Repair the World Day' is a day where members of the Temple engage in different types of community service projects to support literacy, homelessness and hunger. It all sounds really exciting and she has been involved in years past.  Last year a hearty group of young and veteran sewers made 22 'lap buddies' for preschoolers in special education programs. This year Tikkun Olam is celebrated on April 6, 2014 and as she said it, she believes that the 'Zoe Rose project lends itself well to the spirit of our special day of service'. Thank you again Judy for reaching out, we are really excited to be involved in Tikkun Olam :)
