Diana Jasany was adopted at 14 months old from Russia. To achieve her Girl Scout Gold Award she needed a project. She began Diana’s Golden Needle Facebook page in February, 2015, to share her adoption story and help spread the word about foster care and adoption. Her goal was to make 16 quilts for teens in foster care. When interviewed by Adoption Today, she said "I’m hoping that my quilts will bring them (adopted children) some comfort knowing people are thinking of them and wishing them much success in their lives."
She has more than achieved that goal. With the amazing response of quilters from around the world, her quilt top count recently surpassed 116, 100 over her original goal! Thousands of blocks have been donated, stitched and quilted, all carefully coordinated by Diana.
But she isn't finished yet! If you'd like to lend a hand, here’s a link to her Facebook page. She plans to keep going through March 2017.
