UPDATE

Thank you for everyone’s generosity and help in this venture. To date we have delivered 50+ quilts to Irish people affected by the floods.  Next month we are due to deliver another shipment to the Galway area.

We are no longer receiving quilt blocks or tops. If you have a completed quilt, we can include it in our next delivery. Feel free to email us.

Most all of you have heard about the recent flooding in Ireland. They say it is a flood occurrence that happens once in 800 years. The South and the West were first affected. Closely behind came the midland areas, such as, severely affected Athlone in Co. Roscommon.  With more torrential storms this past weekend, the Dublin and Kildare counties are experiencing the same.

The number of homes affected in the beginning was tremendous: 500-600.  News from County Cork put the displaced families at a staggering 18,000.

There will be a number of weeks before many residents will be able to adequately estimate the real damage to their home and belongs.

If you are in Ireland and have quilts ready to be donated, please email me or call me and I will arrange the dropoff/collection point for charity.

Thanks very much!
