 Thank you from Marie Umbach for the  Cuban Mission group

Dear Susan,

I meant to send you a thank you card for you to read to the wonderful, generous quilters. So please rely the message to them.
 
In Cuba we get to meet the ladies that do all the handwork  They sell their items in the closest market and the proceeds go towards funding the church and also projects in the community.  They were all so cute and of various ages. They make blouses, crocheted sweaters, table toppers, purses and beautiful children,s clothing. They were so excited to have so such pretty material to pick from. 

I am attaching a few pictures of their items and of the ladies themselves!!  Again, thanks for all your generosity and kindness.

Marie
