Susan, Roberta, et al: Thanks for all your kind comments about the batiks done by our Tanzanian grandmas. I've just begun selling their stuff (with all money going back to them, of course) and got a further boost from a mention in a quilting newsletter. Have emailed to the "bibis" (grandmas) that they'd better send more fabric back with my husband when he's in Africa later this month, because it's starting to fly our of my workroom! Of course, now I can feel less guilty by getting rid of it faster than I can use it up myself - and it's helping the bibis more! Pat has kindly offered to donate her quilts to our orphans. We need bunkbed-size, lightweight covers for the beds in our Bibi Jann House for homeless AIDS orphans and the grandmas raising them. Any help appreciated! Several of you are passing on info about us to quilting groups and churches. If it helps, I can email you a handy info sheet about our program - you can print it out on both sides. Also have a fabric price/ info sheet I can send to anyone who wants it. Go to
