Posted - Mar 07 2007 : 4:09:04 PM Just saw this story on CBS news tonight and it really touched me...I'm not a quilter, but I do sew (ok, a little :)) but this lady makes quilts for injured soliders at Walter Reed Hospital out of jeans--after her story aired, she received a gazillion pairs of jeans, but now she needs quilting supplies....I thought it might be helpful to post here, in case anyone wanted to donate something. She seemed like such a wonderful individual...she and her husband, both retired, cut the denim squares nightly, and she sews all day at her kitchen table.
Here is the link to the evening news, though I can't seem to find this lady to save my life!!! Perhaps they haven't posted it yet....Ok, NOW it's on there, right on the main evening news page. http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/eveningnews/main3420.shtml
Just think of all of the roads there are...all of the things I haven't seen....yet. |
