We’ve just received word from our friends at Patchwork Tsushin that they’ve received the quilts for Japan. They sent the following pictures of the donated quilts being unloaded at their warehouse.  We are so appreciative of this opportunity to participate in such an endeavor and are sincerely grateful to all of the quilters who poured their hearts into this effort.
