new babies at the starfish house
This morning, Amanda de Lange and a handful of volunteers, went to what we call the “Big O” in Xi’An China (otherwise known as the main orphanage) to see if there were any babies she could take back to her foster home. You see, Amanda doesn’t go looking for the cutest, healthiest babies they have. She goes with eyes and heart open to find the sickest, neediest babies in the orphanage. The babies who are not likely to receive the kind of necessary attention they need just to survive their first few months. Out of all of China’s unwanted ones, she seeks out those who need her the most. That’s why I love this picture so much. This morning, these babies were just seven of many at the orphanage, but not anymore. From here on out these babies will receive round the clock love and attention, nutrition, medical care and almost rock-star like status among Amanda’s fans and supporters all around the world. Once they have been nursed back to health, Amanda does what the orphanage often does...
I like the middle (Frank Stella) one. I'm not too keen on too much white. I have an old American one somewhere, I'll look out for it and post a picture sometime.
ReplyDeleteAgain I LOVE quilts!
ReplyDeletehow is your trip going?? Penny
You and me both! I love the one with circles - quite different and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteIs being around Lia giving you an itching for quilting? I just started knitting again in the hospital with Lindsey, and it is so fun to pick up an old project. I hope you do make some of those!
ReplyDeletePS I couldn't comment when using internet exploring, but I'm using James's firefox browser and it works just fine. Maybe we should all switch?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts Linda. I love the color with the white borders. XOXO
