Facebook, New Friends and How to Reach Out

Wow! Ask someone savy about the new social networking arena and you get an onslaught of information.

What you come to realize is that what is old is new again, just in a different form.

My Mom would chat with neighbors across the fence, at a coffe klatch, at church or at kids activities.

Today, we are BOTH electronic AND the other tried and true methods!

Life connects at the speed of light - no kidding.
And so, the MSP Quilting Angels, take to the electronic stream on Facebook, with our stories about Quilts of Valor, Quilts for Kids and our whole ball of wacky ideas.

Last evening, I set up Facebook and looked around. Ladies that sew and quilt are everywhere and have a connection to the area! These ladies are true cross section of each talent, from beginner to true fiber artists!

I was particularly thrilled to receive an early reply from Terri in Inwood, WV.

Terri writes "I am interested in contributing to your cause. I think it's wonderful. I would be happy to make some quilt of valor bags, Quilts for Kids and block of the month. Because of the distance and time involved, I would be unable to participate in person, but would be more than happy to contribute from afar".

Terri gets it!

We'd love to have everyone one join us every time we Sewing and Quilt...the reality is, it just isn't possible, life happens.

Lori in Wenatchee, WA caluclates it takes about 20-30 minutes to whip up ONE BLOCK and if you made one block every day, that would make 18 quilt tops every year - all in 20 minutes a day.

We pay tribute to the wounded warriors and children sufffering from pediatric illnesses through our sewing and quilting efforts.

Join us today. Make a difference. You'll be glad that you, like Terri, will be perfoming a "wonderful thing" in the life of those so deserving.

Quilt On!
Kathy
