Wrap the World With Quilts

Christmas arrived a bit early this year for Ukrainian refugees and orphans living near Cherkasy, Ukraine thanks to our charity partners .

A few weeks ago they shipped off nearly 1000 pounds of humanitarian aid, Christmas gifts, clothing and some of your quilt and blanket donations to Ukraine.

“The children were beyond thrilled to receive the quilts,” said Mindie and Win Packer, founders of HopeXBorders.

We are grateful for their efforts to ship and distribute aid to Ukraine.

Here are some pictures of the kids with your quilts…. Do you see your quilt in the photos?

Over the weekend, one of our volunteers, Carol, invited us to sit at a table at a Gala fundraising event for To Ukraine with Love

This nonprofit, like us, started when Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Founded by Svitlana Miller, a native of Ukraine, this organization has an amazing team of board members and volunteers helping families in Ukraine.

It was our pleasure to rub shoulders with this amazing charity who provides balanced meals for over 6,000 Ukrainian refugees daily and they have built over 300 homes for Ukrainians who have lost their homes.

Thank you for an educational and eventful night. Our meal at the event was the same meal that is provided to refugees daily. And it was yummy!

One of the slides shown at the event states “If not us, then who?” That statement resonates with us and is really a powerful question. It is why we do what we do!

We had a few extra volunteers at the shop today help us load quilts, humanitarian aid and food for Jamaica. The shipment will go out on Friday thanks to our charity partners Lifting Hands International .

While we were dropping our donations at their warehouse we thought you’d like to see their board which lists all of the places they have made humanitarian deliveries to—just in 2025!

It is a pretty amazing operation. We are happy to have your quilts and blankets on almost all of those deliveries to displaced, distressed and desperate people.

While Wrap the World with Quilts handles most of the deliveries domestically in the US, we are so grateful for our partnership with Lifting Hands to deliver internationally.

Thanks for giving your beautiful quilts to others.

There once was a lady named Sherry

Who makes quilts for our little charity

She made 30 quilts pretty speedy

And thought she was done… we said “really?”

So she went back to her sewing machine pedal

And now gets a Quilting Gold Medal!

Because…

Sherry was made and donated over 700 quilts in a little over 3.5 years!!! That is beyond amazing.

Sherry and her husband Gil are dedicated to helping others. They also volunteer weekly at Wrap. Gil is our fix it man, quilt hauler, and furniture maker. Gil and Sherry also make weekly deliveries of quilts to our charity partner Lifting Hands International and make UPS and quilt pickups regularly.

They are the best people! We love them!

PS Sherry hugs each quilt she makes to send good vibes and love to the person who receives it.

Thank you all who contributed quilts to support the community of Grand Blanc, Michigan following the horrific shooting and fire at an LDS church.

The last load of quilts is shipping out today thanks to the help of who packed and shipped the quilts. Thanks Cindy Cloward and team.

A gathering is planned in Grand Blanc to give support and comfort to those affected by this traumatic event. First responders will also be attended. The quilts will be given out to “wrap” the community in the comfort and hope.

We love it when a group of young adults from Lehi stop by to make fleece blankets for those in need!

Thanks Lehi City for awarding us a PARC grant which allowed us to expand our classroom and have a place for people to volunteer and serve.

Thanks KSL news team for stopping by to do a story about Wrap the World with Quilts and our current quilt drive to send quilts to the community of Grand Blanc, Michigan.

Emma also interviewed one of our volunteers, Sherry Avellar, who has made nearly 700 quilts for us in the last 3 years! Amazing dedication to help others in need.

We have collected several hundred quilts for Michigan and our friends at Riley Blake Designs agreed to ship them for us… plus our crew got a tour of their new warehouse in Lehi, Utah. Thanks Cindy and crew for the help.

We will continue our quilt drive for Michigan through the end of October and will send them more quilts in early November.

If you are local you can watch us on KSL tv at 6:30 pm tonight…. or you can watch on their website after the broadcast on KSL tv.com.

It was a great four days hanging out at the Utah State Quilt Guild Quilt Fest event. We hosted a “it’s a scrappy world after all” charity sewing night and are grateful for those who sewed and even took extra quilt projects home to finish. We collected dozens of quilts!

We met new friends and connected with old friends and talked with so many quilt makers who are willing to jump on board and make quilts for us to donate to those in need. Many agreed to pull out their half done quilts and finish them and to dive into their fabric stash and make quilts.

A big thanks to our volunteer staff who supports this Charity.

A we appreciate all of the donations we received to keep our non-profit going.

Next week quilts are heading the community and congregation at the LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan and another few hundred are heading to an orphanage in Ukraine thanks to .
