'We are here; we see you': Making quilts for fire victims resonates far beyond L.A.
Briefly

Shaadee Ighanian initiated a grassroots effort called Stitch by Stitch to create quilts for those affected by the Eaton fire, particularly focusing on families in need of comfort. After witnessing a friend's loss, she turned to her Instagram followers to rally quilters and supporters. The campaign quickly gained momentum, leading to over 70 quilts being promised or donated. Participants included individuals from across the United States, as they sought to provide a sense of community and warmth to those displaced by the tragedy.
"For those who have lost everything, a quilt is more than just fabric - it's a tangible embrace, a moment of peace in the chaos."
"I thought of it as a gesture to let them know that we are here; we see you."
