INTRODUCING THE "THIMBLE CLUB" LADIES:

Thimble Club is a group of women who get together once a month for the primary purpose of making quilts. Many ladies have enjoyed this pursuit over the more than 30 years of the group’s existence. Many gifted women have come and gone over the years, but still this "good work" continues.

The Thimble Club and Livada Orphan Care

The story is that over a year, The Thimble Club made these quilts. Carla Clark asked me if I thought we could use them over in Romania. I told her absolutely. So in October Carla delivered me 10 hand-made quilts. I shipped them to Chicago where they sat until early January when they were sent via a container ship to Romania and delivered to our staff at Fundatia LOC in Targu Mures. They arrived in mid-February and by prior agreement we waited until I arrived to deliver them. We chose a state home that was opened four years ago. We were all together when the girls were picked up at the huge orphanage in town and driven to their new home--not having a clue what a "home" was until we arrived. Frankly, the visit was nearly overwhelming since these girls don't ever have visitors--they have been wonderfully absorbed into the village life where their home is located--Campanita.
