The Winter Quilt

About this episode

Our story tonight is called The Winter Quilt, and it’s a story about a lovingly made piece of art that warms a heart and a bed. It’s also about snowflakes lit up in the headlights of a car, sparrows and bicycles, and the artifacts that we hold to tell us stories from the past.

Our charity this week is Children International, https://www.children.org. They work to connect people around the world in the fight to end poverty.
