From the Lutheran World Relief website (www.lwr.org):
When you make and send a Quilt, you are not only comforting someone you have never met, but providing an object that is useful in ways you probably never imagined. In addition to being a cozy, clean new bed cover, it can be:
a baby carrier, tied around a mother’s back;
a market display, spread on the ground and piled with vegetables;
a sack for transporting those goods to market;
a sunshade;
a shawl; and most importantly
a constant reminder that someone, far away, cares a lot.
