Text of the page (random words):
phoenix quilts to something else so that the name would fit all the people that we are giving quilts to the new name and blog were all part of a big surprise well the big mistake i made after the blog was created is that the new name i chose is already being used i am so embarrassed i thought for sure i thoroughly checked the internet to make sure the name wasn t being used i must have seen that the name was being used but blocked it out of my mind because i liked the name so much i feel like such an idiot ugh so instead of my big surprise i m coming to you for help in choosing a new name you have all helped in such big ways in the past that i decided you ought to have a say in what we call ourselves i ve got a few ideas and this time i really can t see anywhere else they re being used but i wanted to see what you come up with why am i wanting to change the name here are a couple of reasons many people ask if i m in phoenix arizona i ve been asked if i have a quilt store in phoenix and if quilts could be dropped off there i live in utah so this was a little confusing to people some just didn t understand the name the biggest reason why i want to change the name is because we ve increased the types of families and individuals we re donating quilts to we aren t only dealing with people who have been affected by wildfires although we did some amazing things with that we are also reaching out to those who have been affected by man made tragedies or natural disasters like we did with hurricane sandy in new york i d like to change the name to something that includes everyone that receives one of our quilts so what do you think what should we name our group once this is all finalized i m going to apply to become a non profit agency surprise therefore the name needs to be available with a org extension for a future website as well as a blog name i really want to help others through these quilts and being a non profit agency will help us help even more people in need of a quilted hug by the way if you want to see the new blog you can go to it by clicking here i can t wait to read your suggestions hugs posted by julie anderson at 7 55 pm 4 comments

december 2012 school shooting sunday december 23 2012 sandy hook elementary school shooting quilts i ve decided with a lot of thought and research that we will be donating our quilts to the first responders police firemen etc of the sandy hook elementary school shooting being an emt myself i am saddened by what these men and women are going through now and will be dealing with for the rest of their lives i am in the process of gathering the 200 names of the men and women who played a part that day so you can embroidered or applique their name onto their personal quilt we ve already donated quilts to people who lost their home to the wildfires in the western united states this past summer and helped bring quilts to 325 families who lost their home to hurricane sandy because there are so many things being donated to the children as there should be i decided to focus on those who risked their lives running into the school that day not knowing what awaited them they are truly heroes thank you so much for everything you re doing to help i would appreciate your help in spreading the word about what we re doing hugs posted by julie anderson at 9 17 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels december 2012 school shooting saturday december 15 2012 quilts for connecticut like everyone else my heart was torn in half upon hearing the news of the school shooting at the sandy hook elementary school in newton connecticut i have five children and three grandchildren and i just can t wrap my mind around this whole thing of course my mind immediately turned to quilts and how i would love to give one to each family who lost a child or loved one in this unbelievable tragedy then i thought of all the children who were affected just because they went to school so i did some research there are almost 700 children and 39 teachers at sandy hook i began to wonder is it possible to have that many quilts donated when everyone is so busy with the holidays so we could give one to everyone i never would have thought that giving quilts to wildfire victims and then 325 to hurricane sandy victims was possible but we did it what do you think can we do this i don t know how else to bring a little bit of comfort to the friends and families involved but i just have to do something posted by julie anderson at 9 27 am 19 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels december 2012 school shooting wednesday december 12 2012 325 quilts are in new york it s true the quilts are in new york ready to be delivered to the families that were affected by hurricane sandy it is so unbelievable how everything came together i don t have room on this blog to tell you all the little details but a lot of mini miracles happened to make everything work out 54 boxes of 325 quilts they weighed over 800 lbs my cousin karen western works for jetblue airlines she arranged to have jetblue fly all 325 quilts to new york for free there were many people at jetblue who worked feverishly to get this request fulfilled in just a matter of hours at 3 19 p m on monday december 3 i got the text that the quilts were approved to be on the 11 30 p m flight that night i also got told that my uncle daniel pugmire bought a round trip ticket for me so i could go to new york with the quilts i just cried with gratitude for everything that so many people were doing to help with this project i got on the plane at 11 30 p m monday night and arrived in new york at 5 30 a m on tuesday i was tired because of no sleep but was full of excitement for what lay ahead one of the mini miracles was that karen was in new york the same time i was because of business meetings so most of the time i wasn t alone my aunt karol and another cousin kristine went with karen to new york for fun so the four of us had a great time together tuesday night i couldn t get a hotel room so my uncle daniel arranged for me to stay with a gal that he knows who lives in an apartment in new york i ve never met stephanie before but she was so sweet to let me stay with her she even made me breakfast the next morning i was scared to death nervous because while riding the subway to get to her apartment i ve never been on the subway before i missed my stop and a few stops later decided i better get off and ask someone where i was once i got turned around and got off at the correct stop i proceeded to get lost walking to stephanie s apartment i called my husband and told him i was lost and he stayed with me on the phone until i found her place whew all day tuesday and wednesday we walked around new york city and saw so many awesome things everything is so much bigger in real life can you tell i ve never been to new york before we went to times square central park and the rockefeller center we walked around the lincoln center julliard broadway and the garment district times square i can t believe how big it is ama za zing christmas tree in rockefeller center cool statue of a jewish immigrant sewing tunnel in central park from the movie home alone 2 wednesday afternoon i met with president kevin calderwood the mission president of the new york new york south mission of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints he is in charge of the mormon helping hands one of many organizations that has been helping with the clean up efforts from hurricane sandy even before the rain stopped falling there have been over 7 000 non denominational volunteers in mormon helping hands and over 100 000 hours spent helping people clean up their homes and neighborhoods they are going to invite those who have been affected by the storm to a christmas concert where they will hand out the quilts i think it will be such a lovely setting to receive their gifts from quilters all over the world president calderwood and i in front of the 54 boxes of quilts wednesday night we went to the lds temple in downtown manhattan so amazing how it s built in the middle of all the skyscrapers lds manhattan temple with the angel moroni statue on top on thursday we went to the 9 11 memorial it was really nice there was kind of a reverent feeling there this is a picture of the freedom tower they are building there it isn t finished yet but looks like it will be soon freedom tower at 9 11 memorial around the edges of this fountain are the names of those who died on 9 11 there were two of these one for each tower that fell the same size as the footprint of the towers afterwards we did a city tour on a double decker bus you can get off any of the many stops and shop or look around and then catch the next bus when you re ready to move on so cool we did lots of window shopping and walking around of course i also had to try out a hot dog from a street corner vendor when in new york do as new yorker s do best new york hot dog i ve ever had toy soldier built out of legos in fao schwartz we left new york thursday
