A Gift of Love

Recently I got an email from a sweet lady who is a Russian Missionary asking if craft, quilting, cross stitch and embroidery supplies could be sent for her and the ladies she shares with. I'd love to be able to send her a nice package to bless her and the ladies there! I don't have enough stash to do it all on my own so I thought I would put it out here on my blog for anyone else who would like to donate too! If you want to help just send me an email or comment and leave your email and I'll let you have the option of sending to me and I'll send out a combined package or you can send directly to her yourself. Here is a little bit of what Nika wrote to me:
Hello! My name is Nika! We are from Russia. My husband and I to work with students. We organize many clubs to construct attitudes friendship and to speak them about the Christ. I have ladys club, we to do hand made cards, scrapbook, quilt and crosstitch. It is good opportunity to testify about our God and His love! Every Saturday I have craft club for ladyes. We do cards, quilt, crochet, cross stitch too. It very not usual and new to Russian culture. I to study on different blog how to make cards, made quilt and to use different technics. We are missionary to the Far East Russia.
Her blogs are:

I'm not sure how many of you also would love to help her out but my heart would be to send her a nice stash and even some CQ and embroidery books! Think of how much it means to us to get a special squishy, and that is what my heart is for them, to send a wonderful squishy so they can have fun learning and fellowship doing it!

Hi Melissa, I'd be interested in donating stash or a book or two (or ???). Count me in! When you get the volunteers, why don't you make us a complete list of things you like and I can tell you what I've got to help out. This is such a great idea - you rock, darlin' !! Hugs, Cathy

Cathy,
You are so sweet! I just want to send anything really she is interested in learning new things and teaching it to the other ladies so that's why I thought books would be great to send too. Whatever you'd like to send would I'm sure be perfect! If you'd like to send direct to her you can too. Basically I'm going to collect up some stuff and if I have anyone else who wants to contribute I'll wait for it to arrive and then send it all together. I don't really have a list of items just anything goes really.
Hugs!
Melissa

Melissa, I would be happy to contribute some stash of various kinds, if you let me know how I can send it to you.

Ooooo Melissa, This is sooooo exciting. Count me in. I am so excited to do this with you. I will bring some stuff to church on Sunday but will bring more as I get it. Just let me know when your final date to send off is and I will make sure I have as much as I can by then.
Big Hugs,
Wendy

Awww neat! My friend Rachel went there as part of the Come And Sew Ministries.
Is it too late to send you something?

Hi Melissa,

While following a thread of CQ blogs, I found your post about the project to send needlework supplies to ladies in Russia. I have so much that I would love to give to such a group. I couldn't find an address. If you let me know, I will go through my stash and get things together and send them.

Thanks,
