Quilt Blocks for Ukraine
Claudia Pfeil is asking quilters to send her 8 1/2” blocks in blue and yellow, the colors of the Ukrainian flag, and she will make them into quilts for refugees/children who are fleeing Ukraine.
UPDATE (4/6/22): Claudia has just updated her mailing instructions on Facebook. Apparently she got in trouble with the post office for telling people to list their quilt blocks as “humanitarian aid” . She can’t do that because she isn’t an organization. So she has requested that people list their blocks as “gifts” and that should solve her problem.
She also said to list the value as $1.00. She has received over 6,000 blocks so far and has had to enlist her friends to help her make the quilts. She must be a human dynamo with a heart of gold. Quilters from all over the world are being very generous.
Claudia writes,
Calling my friends worldwide: I will start a project, collecting blocks in 8 1/2"( seam allowance included), colors: blue/yellow ( Ukrainian flag), techniques: everything is allowed... I will sew and quilt one or more quilts ( depending on how many blocks I will receive), donate them to refugees ( children?) from Ukraine coming to Europe or whatever the future will lead me to. I am soooo absolutely devastated about the news that I want, no... I need to do something and the only thing I can do is quilt and ask for peace!
Your Claudia
