Hi everyone:
Thank you again for all of your generous offers to send sewing gifts to Arielle! I’m sorry, but I’m on a business trip so I have not had an opportunity to respond to you all, but will do so soon. I received an email from Arielle yesterday and she is very, very moved by the outpouring of generosity. She was thinking, however, that it might be best if all of the items could be consolidated into a single package and sent at once, since she has to pay for all of the packages to get to her from her US courier address. At this time I am waiting to hear back from her about whether there is someone in the US who could handle collecting and consolidating all of the items. If so, I will email everyone who has promised things and let them know of the updated address. So if you have something for her and haven’t yet sent it, could you please hold off on doing so until I hear back from Arielle? Thanks so much!
-Elaine

I would love to choose something or a few somethings to send. But my concern is that if several of us choose the same things and then she doesn’t get other things. Is there a way that we can do this so that things aren’t duplicated and most of the needs get covered?

I would be happy to donate a couple patterns, a measuring tape, and maybe something small if there is anything else she thinks she could use. Does she have a pattern list yet? Also, what is the plan for keeping duplicates to a minimum?

Just a thought–hurricane season starts June 1. Even if Haiti dodges that particular bullet this year, it won’t dodge the accompanying rainy season. So, something to consider when sending patterns.
