It simply hurts my heart to know that children are in such pain. The quilts are beautiful, and must certainly be a bright spot in their dark lives. Such a noble cause, and facility. I'm glad you could visit, and then share this with us.FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621431637562254150.post-86349876352804155872014-02-11T09:03:55.714+11:002014-02-11T09:03:55.714+11:00Lovely quilts.

Thank you, too, for opening my eyes to something I'd never heard about before.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621431637562254150.post-13027792785475603842014-02-09T10:59:49.537+11:002014-02-09T10:59:49.537+11:00Such a sad, but heartwarming story.

They have told me a little of the horrors of the war they were involved in there. After their side lost the war, they moved to South Africa, England, USA (where I met them) and finally they settled in Australia. I am glad they are somewhere safe. Thank you for bringing this oasis of safety and love to our attention. They are deserving of any help we can give them.Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621431637562254150.post-58062069077301616172014-02-08T18:26:16.466+11:002014-02-08T18:26:16.466+11:00Oh Di what a beautiful post!

I would love to visit one day. <br /><br />Quilts for the SJCentre are now being made by my group of lovely "Quilting Queens" at Jimboomba Christian Family. We now have 10 ladies who have learnt to make beautiful quilts for these girls. As you can see we make them all very bright and cheerful, as Africans love. <br /><br />If you would like to help, we always appreciate donations of beautiful bright fabric and money to help with postage (Each quilt costs approx. $15 to post). <br />If you are able to help the SJC directly, that would be wonderful - see the Sandra Jones Centre web site.Cathy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314909827485024943noreply@blogger.com
