Wrap Them in Love

Wrap Them in Love Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt organization
created to help needy children of the world.

Our Mission is to collect donated quilts and distribute them to children around the world, so they can be wrapped in love and comfort. As we all know, a quilt is a very special thing. It isn't just a blanket; it has been lovingly created by a real person. A quilter leaves a part of themselves in every quilt they make. The child who receives it will be able to snuggle up in all the love that comes in that quilt.

We are very sad to announce that Ellen's mom, Helen McCormick has passed away March 23, 2010. Helen was a huge supporter of Wrap Them in Love. She turned 80 years old in 2009 and it was her goal to make 100 quilts for Wrap Them in Love during that year. Amazingly, she beat that goal! We figure that if she could make over 100 quilts in one year ----by herself ----at age 80---then everyone together could make that many too! So we'd love for you to join us in making a quilt (or even a block) in her honor. Here is a challenge for everyone. On the next Wrap'em quilt that you make, think hearts and love. Put a heart somewhere on the quilt---it can be one block or the whole quilt or even something with the quilting. Be creative. How many ways can we make a quilt with hearts? Wrap'em Blog Come and join our new interactive blog! This is a great way to interact with other Wrap'em supporters. Let us know what you are working on, show us your projects, ask questions, share your expertise, encourage each other. We'll be posting upcoming events, so go HERE to find all of the details. Wrap Them in Love quilts go to children locally as well as world wide. Requests are always coming in for more quilts, and we need your help so that we don't ever have to turn anyone down. You are not only bringing warmth to a child, but much needed hugs and love as they snuggle in your quilt. Don't forget to check out the galleries from this year as well as the previous years.

How Can You Help?

Quilts, quilts, quilts ------
Make a quilt or quilts and send or deliver them to:

• Remember these quilts will be used and laundered a lot.
  Tie or quilt them fairly close so that they can hold up to lots of loving.
• We recommend about 40" X 60", but you can make them any size. There are older children as well as babies who need them.
  Several times we have been asked for larger quilts for teenagers. Children come in all sizes, so whatever size you choose to make will be great!
• Gather your friends, club or quilt group, your classroom, your church and make quilts together.
• Please be sure to put a label on each quilt that includes your name, where you are from, and the date you made the quilt.
