I had been a member of the RQG for only a few years before leaving for Uganda, but they showered me with love in the form of hugs, scissors, thread, needles, pins, and money to purchase treadle sewing machines. They embraced the people of Uganda too, watching for updates on my blog and emails.
When Jeff and I returned for a temporary, yet unexpectedly long, stay in Riverside due to the pandemic, the Guild members were very concerned about the well-being of the people we had left behind. Wonderful ladies put their time and talents into creating what can only be described as stunning artwork. Many members contributed by piecing together Ugandan fabrics into blocks using the "African Queen" pattern. Out of this labor of love representing kindness for people on the other side of the world, two quilts were made.
The Raincross Quilt Guild is inviting people to donate for the opportunity to own one of these gorgeous works of art. All money donated will be sent to the people of Uganda who are currently struggling with hunger for the purchase of tools, seeds, and other gardening supplies. This will allow families to become self-reliant on food.
Jeff and I are continuously amazed by the kindhearted people in the US who want to help out in Uganda. Members of the guild have been so supportive of making these quilts, and we hope that many others who read our blog can support this project in two ways. The first is to donate for an opportunity to own one of these 2 beautiful quilts. Donations can be as little as $1.
The second way you can help is to assist us in getting the word out to as many people as possible. Please help by linking this post to your social media channels, or by emailing the link to your friends and family. Just copy and paste this link: https://tinyurl.com/Quilts1
