Quilts for Guatemala
 

I recently returned from a mission trip to Guatemala where we installed fuel-efficient wood-burning stoves. I so fell in love with the people there. . . so warm, generous, HAPPY despite living on dirt floors, etc. They were so very kind to us. So I made 6 quilts to give to the people who helped us with the stoves. The like bright colors, so.. .
I'll post the rest in a separate post.

Oh wow. Your Guatemala friends will love them. I think they'll love the backs where you used their pictures just as much as the front. Very clever and darling.

Wonderful! Great work you are doing and I'm sure they love their quilts!!

Beautiful quilts I'm sure they will be loved and used.

It is heart warming to read about the work you did there and the beautiful quilts you made for the people. I think you hit it right on with the beautiful colors and patterns. Do you have some one hand carying the quilts to the people? Our family has a a special connection to Guatemala as 4 of our children were born there including my two youngest in the avatar picture. May God bless you for what you did.

What a wonderful thing to do!!! They are beautiful.

Beautiful work!!!

Wonderful quilts! I especially like the butterfly one. I bet they have many beautiful butterflies in the rainforests there so this one will surely have special meaning.

Very nice. Wonderful fabrics!

How beautiful the quilts and what your doing with them. Have you seen any of the needle and yarn work those Guatamalan women can do. I saw some of their work one time at a small museum in Denver. Amazing.

Great quilts and what a thoughtful touch to add the photos :)

they should be thrilled, and the backs will provide a wonderful memory of the event. Beautiful!
