A little heart came from Japan:)

We had another big support from Japan for our charity project. My quilter friend, dear Hideko sent us two boxes of blankets. I also would like to thank Hideko for preparing a lovely heart for me, she wishes happiness and luck for me and my country with a small clover charm, special thanks to dear friend for a special gift, I'll always keep it with a great happiness as a treasury.

Hideko's blankets are so lovely as the others I reveived, these are silky soft blankets, perfect selection for the babies soft skins.

This photo shows wonderful blankets that came from Japan. Earthquake survivor young mothers will love these blankets to wrap their little angels in that bitter cold climate. It is snowing there now, temperature always below(-) degrees.

All these disasters are real tragedies for us but great friendships always helps to get hands together, one word, one small gifts means a lot, indeed!

I hope we never have earthquake, flood, drought at any place of the world on next year...

Thank you dear Hideko, I know you're always there, dear friend, your friendship means a lot to me, you know it.

Baby Blankets ready for disaster area!

I'm almost ready to send wonderful baby blankets to the earthquake area. So sad that all those people who have to live in hard winter conditions, they desperately in need of things to keep them warm, especially babies. Special thanks to all participants of this project, I had great help of buddies from Ankara, Bursa, Edirne, Adana other than İstanbul area. Also special thanks for my buddies from Crazy International group, we have lovely blankets from Portugal, USA and Japan. We really appreciate all efforts of those who contributed this project.

As you see, we have lovely hand made, crocheted blankets to keep babies warm, they are so lovely, so soft to wrap little angels. Some blankets have also lovely cases:))

My local Post office clerks and the members of the cargo companies who brought big boxes to my home are all so happy with this meaningful project...We are all got so impressed to have big support around the world, thanks so much, dear quilter friends.

Earthquake disaster in Turkey

So sad that we had another big earthquake at the eastern part of the country...The announced magnitute was 7.2 and caused big damage! Thousands of people are homeless at the moment, living in the tents or bungalows in the rough winter conditions.

We, as being quilter Ladies in Istanbul started to make baby blankets to help young mothers who are living in the pretty hard conditions at the moment. My some quilter friends from Crazy Quilting International group also wanted to support us to prepare baby blankets.

Cathy's lovely blankets arrived last week and today I received another box from Peggy . I would like to share with you all that I got so much impressed with my Committe Member friends with these great support of my quilter buddies from thousands miles away.

Both friends says, we wish we could do more!!! I also would like to admit that I couldn't control my tear drops upon Peggy's message, she writes "As each child is warmly wrapped, I pray they are aware of the love and good wishes sent with the blankets"....

I believe that these lovely blankets will give hope and power for those young mothers who are trying to keep alive their little ones in that disaster area in this current hard winter conditions...

Special thanks once again...
