Earlier this year (read more) we shared with you a story of Evie Harris idea for sending a little bit of love, in the shape of a fabric heart, to the citizens of Christchurch New Zealand who had just recently experienced a tremendous earthquake. The idea blossomed via the internet, and soon thousands of fabric hearts were traveling around the globe towards New Zealand.
TQS member Pam7040 thought that this idea would also be appropriate for members of TQS. Through the TQS prayer list on the Forum we know of people going through difficult times. Making a fabric heart for them is a way of sending them our love and showing that we care and are thinking of them. These small hearts can be made fairly quickly and easily and can therefore be sent right away. Why not make a few for those who need a heartfelt thought from a quilting friend.
Here are the basics:
Two heart shapes sewn together, stuffed or not, embellished, embroidered, quilted, plain or fancy, anything goes. Add a loop for hanging. It is a small measure of something nice to give at a difficult time.
Someone remembers, someone cares;
Your name is whispered in someone's prayers.
