Crafting for Japan

There are a couple of interesting Japan initiatives popping up which will let you get involved in a more hands-on way - if you're so inclined.  Click for more information!

Sunshine Squares - Susan Weinroth 

Quilters Newsletter is collecting Quilts for Japan in collaboration with Patchwork Tsushin in Japan.

Chloe & Mieko - Pink Fig Design

Create a t-shirt for a child in Japan using this pattern by Chelsea of Pink Fig Design.  You can read more about Chelsea's motivation here.  Or join a sew-along for this project on Living with Punks.

For both of these projects, the organizers have contacts in Japan who will ensure the crafted goods will make it into the hands of those who need it.  If you come across any other projects like these, please let us know in the comments, on our Facebook page or via Twitter.  Thanks!
