Fabric to the Humanitarian Room at our DI

The word came to us in RS that the Humanitarian Room in our DI was out of fabric. They are making quilts for Haiti and now also Chile. So it was Launa to the Rescue... I pulled out everything from the closet shelf in Merika's old room- and put it all into a bag. I pulled out boxes from under the bed in same room- fabric to donate. I even took several boxes from the bottom of the closet in same room. All total is was about 400 yards of fabric. Dad dropped it off today on his lunch. I also donated a lot of yarn so they can tie the quilts, and a few quilt bats.
Last year I donated a lot of fabric to the Sacramento Chapter of Project Linus and the Elk Grove Quilt Guild(this was from the shed in the big plastic bins).
When the weather is nice I think dad and I can go through the garage and find a bit more to donate.

Too bad I had all that sitting there unsewn, but at least I can donate it to a very worthy cause.

Things that I feel strongly about...

1. I am a mom, and grandmon; I love my kids, husband and my grandchildren
2. I am a daughter & I love my mom, she is still very important to me
3. I am a sister – “oh, the joys of sisterhood!” as a child and as an adult
4. I want my children to live good lives, remain active in the church, and work always to be the best they can be
5. Education is important
6. Continuing education continues to work for me
7. The importance of making a marriage work- it is important to marry the right person, at the right time, in the right place
8. Oral histories- I love to find out details about my ancestors lives
9. Family history – who did I descend from?
10. Quilting, knitting, some scrap booking
11. I have arthritis – and can do less with my hands than I want to.
12. Stress management
13. The importance of a good relationship with in-laws
14. Christmas – family holidays and get-togethers
15. Our joys and struggles as we lived in our “Poverty, hunger and dirt” days…we were so poor, with 6 kids in a little 900 sq ft home.
16. Emergency preparedness – follow the prophet
17. Getting out of debt- living within our means
