In this special episode, you’re going to meet seven special organizations…charities that use sewing or quilting to care for people who are struggling because of where they live, the health burdens they carry, or injuries they sustained in service to our country. Come with us as we meet the extraordinary who care for the exceptional.

:37 Our first visit is with Carla Triemar of Quilts Beyond Borders who has handed out more than 30,000 quilts worldwide in the last 15 years. www.Quiltsbeyondborders.wordpress.com

5:42 Diane Canny tells us the story of the genesis of The Covid-19 Hope Project, founded to honor Frontline Workers and to memorialize those lost to the pandemic, and shares stories of their work. www.hopequilt.org

11:49 Learn how Wrap Ukraine in Quilts became an “accidental success” in their efforts to make and provide quilts for people affected by this war. Gina Halladay and Beth Hawkins share this inspiring story. www.wrapukrainewithquilts.com

18:47 Coordinated by the Blanton-Davis Ovarian Cancer Research Program at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Ovarian Cancer Quilt Project seeks to build awareness about ovarian cancer through the artistry of quilting. Lisa Smith takes us on a journey through the evolution of this group and the critical work they do. www.ovarianquilts.com

26:01 Enlisting volunteers in more than 120 chapters to make bright pillowcases for children in more than 330 hospitals. Houston Chapter Coordinator Sheila Kristynik tells us about Ryan’s Case for Smiles and how families who have a child going through cancer treatment can find more general information on how to cope. www.ryanscaseforsmiles.com

28:48 Reacquaint yourself with Shelancia Daniel of The Creativity Shell, who we met in August of 2021 on this podcast, as she brings us up to speed on what she and The Creativity Shell have been up to since our first meeting. www.creativityshell.org

34:34 Finally, we meet Suzanne DiCarlo of Quilts of Valor…a non-profit that awards quilts to service members and veterans who have been touched by war. www.qovf.org

Once again, the community of sewists has come together to serve the greater good. Our thanks to all who took the time to share the stories of their organizations. If you want to learn more about any of these, you can go to our website for their contact information.
