"In her heartwarming book, My Grandfather's Blessings, Rachel Remen says, "You do not need money to be a philanthropist. We all have assets. You can befriend life with your bare hands." I am grateful for being able to befriend life with my bare hands through the making of quilts and prayer shawls." Jane Jackson is a mother, grandmother, former mid-wife, writer and much more. Over the decades she has has made and gifted exquisite memory quilts to people who have lost loved ones. In this gentle piece-- that includes a beautiful slideshow of her work-- she describes the evolution of her pay-it-forward initiative, Karma Quilts, and the patchwork of people, places and events that shaped her quilting journey.
