Stone Soup Quilters |
In our village called Seattle, we have a opportunity to put what we call the "stone soup principle" to work to help out some people who are far from home and in crisis: the patients of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and their families (Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is a combined effort of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center University of Washington Medical Center and Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center). Quilters know the silent but powerful statement of concern that the gift of a quilt can make. It is a most effective way to reach out to someone who is in a stressful situation. So we simply make quilts and give them to new patients as they enter the hospital for treatment. They warm and brighten the hospital rooms and hallways. They quite literally comfort and cheer the patients who receive them. Hospital personnel tell us that our cheerful quilts make a big difference._____________________________________________________________ You can help too.
