Along with all the patriotic celebrations this month, July certainly brings some hot days!!

Square Corner Quilters
This month we have welcomed the
contribution of 20 amazing and artistic quilts hand made and presented in June
to PL by a new contributing group – Square Corner Quilters. This well organized and civic-minded group of
quilters is an outgrowth of a Job’s Daughters tradition. Every young woman makes a quilt, with her
mother’s help and instruction, as part of her learning to contribute her skills
to the greater community.
They have 32 members at this time and meet
at First Presbyterian Church in SLC. They
love to sew and they love to laugh. Their
president is Denise Smith and Eileen Dwyer is president elect and ready to take
over leadership in this next year. They
function as a part of Utah Quilt Guild and all of their quilts are carefully
planned, and expertly created.
It was a touching event to meet with them
and to receive the generous donation. The
level of expertise and artistic works of art that they create for little
children in Salt Lake is unparalled. PL is proud to distribute these keepsakes to cheer
up and comfort children who need a blanket hug.
They were shy about posing – but here are
their pictures.
This is Cashton who received a Linus blanket.
This is what his
grandma said:
“We were given temporary custody of our
Grandson, Cashton last month. He turned
two in March. At the courthouse, we were
given a beautiful blanket made by Karen.
Cashton is thrilled with the blanket. He brings it to me for naptime and for
reading time. He holds it up and says
“Cashton’s blanket huh grandma.” So cute!
What a wonderful organization thinking of
these little souls that are struggling to find themselves, missing their
parents, and trying to find others to love them.
My sincere gratitude to you,”

CHILDREN IN DISTRESS.
