For today our featured quilter is Carol Ann Johnston of MooseCarolQuilts.etsy.com. Her donation went to a great cause - here is what she said about her donations:
The quilts I donated this year went to three families who were burned out in the Paradise, CA, wildfires last summer. One of the members of my local church is related to a burnout victim who worked at a clinic there. Three families of folks who worked at the same clinic lost everything in the fires.
My local church, Hope Lutheran Church in Eagle, Idaho, organized a donation drive to help replace household objects for those families. Our small congregation filled a big trailer with household goods. I watched in horror the news clips of the fires in California and I just couldn’t wrap my head around someone losing everything in a wildfire like that. So when I heard about the church’s drive, it was very easy to send quilts for the families.
Carol donated three quilts--two twin-size and one queen bed quilt.
Carol lives in Boise, Idaho, USA
Thanks for your generous and very comforting gifts, Carol!
