Happy Friendship Friday!
Spring is becoming evident to many of our readers and they are sharing what is happening in their areas:
Crocuses are blooming for Sue P. (first) and Betsy (second photo):
Sue P. shared this delightful photo which hold special meaning to her:
"Found this this afternoon. Tete-a-tete daffodil, blooming way too early, coming out a stone wall by my garage. To me it signifies the will to live, to survive. Surely it's Ukrainian. 💛💙"
Sue is a second generation Ukrainian American and immediately made this block to send to Claudia:
Sue S. sent more information on how to get involved:
"Bonnie Hunter (quiltville) and Gudrun Erla(GE Designs) have joined up to support Ukraine in several ways. They have established a Quilters for Ukraine GoFundMe account. The money will go to a group called Together Rising, that will donate the funds to organizations on the ground now already working and sending supplies and money. The quilters are both featuring quilts to make in the Ukrainian colors and Gudrun's website has a special fabric group and pattern you can buy and she will donate those funds. They both feel it is too early to send quilts but will pursue that later.
Pat Sloan (Ilovetomakequilts) is supporting Unicef. She has a pattern you can download with a suggested donation. Her pattern is for a wall hanging or banner you can hang to show your support."
💙💙💙💛💛💛
These are all great ways to support Ukraine. Right now Poland is assisting the bulk of the refugees. Because Poland is a predominately Catholic country, my husband and I also made a donation to Catholic Charities Relief fund.
💗💗💗
Sending each of you love and hugs!
Have a safe and happy weekend!
I am sure Spring will be here as soon as we thaw out from under the snowfall yesterday. And then the Cherry Blossoms will be here :-) Have a good Sunday.
