mining tragedy in NZ

The below just came through from Cathy Miller's blog. (The Singing Quilter). I'm sure she wouldn't mind someone forwarding it on so that the biggest number of people see it. I've been wondering what I could do and was pleased to have an address to send a block to:

There has been a new call, and I know that many people have already expressed support for it. After the horrible mine explosion in New Zealand, they are collecting hearts for quilts for the families of the men who died. This is a tangible and wonderful way to make a difference. Recipients of the hearts always talk about how helpful the support is for them in their time of grieving.For details on this project, and to follow the progress, the website is http://www.shirleygoodwin.blogspot.com/

Healing hearts are 6 1/2" squares of cream calico with some sort of heart on it. You can write your name, country, or any words of support on the block. You can make more than one. You can even make a whole quilt and send it along. Then send it/them to:
