I contacted Kristen at the Sew Mama Sew Store with regard to IBOL and this is the reply that she sent to me....by the way, my first name is Ruby and this is the name that I used to contact her..
Ruby,
Yes, we did participate in the IBOL project! I'm so sad to hear that people are saying it is a scam. Hopefully you didn't see that on any blogs? If so, I'd love to write to them about my experience. Of course I wasn't there to see the bundles being donated, but I do trust they they were.
Here is what we did:

I even met Art and his family when they came to visit me in my shop:

They seem like perfectly respectable people doing a very generous thing.
Please let me know if you have any questions. You are welcome to have other people email me if they have any questions or concerns.
Kindest regards,
Kristin Link
