Another avenue for sending "comfort quilts" to Japan....

This was posted by Valerie Hearder on the SAQA newslist.  It is another option for anyone who is considering sending a quilt or quilts to people who have been displaced due to the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in Japan:


This morning I received an email from Naomi Ichikawa, Editor of Patchwork Quilt Tsushin Magazine.
Naomi lives in Tokyo and her mother and brother survived the tsunami in Sendai.

Naomi asked me to please spread the word about the plea for comfort quilts.
I hope you can help with this.
best,
Valerie

Here is Naomi's request:
