I wasn't ready to do a post this week, but this is too important to wait. Tia, of Campfollower Bag Lady has started the Bushfire Project to make quilts for folks affected by the devastating wildfires in Australia. I have lots of Aussie blog friends who I've been so glad to connect with through this blog. I've been reading about the fires on the net and seeing them on the news and feeling helpless. Tia has an idea how we can contribute in our own small way. Lots of small gestures can be a BIG help. Go here to the flickr group or here to Tia's blog for details.

Thanks for the links. I have spread the word on my blog.
Isn't it amazing what people can do when they come together?
I absolutely cannot comprehend what pain, sorrow, fear and loss has occurred. It is beyond any understanding.
My prayers and love goes out to all. I just wish that I could make a difference.
