Quilts for a Cause

My blog for posting what I am doing to assist those in need with quilts. It is my hope that those that read my postings and see my quilts will be led/compelled to reach out and help me to help those in need. My projects have included Hurricane Rita and Katrina victims, breast cancer patients, new moms, children, the homeless and prisoners.

Aprons

In todays world of rush, rush, rush isn't it amazing that aprons are coming back in style? I remember growing up my mom and grandmother always wore an apron before cooking or even doing dishes and we always had to wear an apron if we were going to help them.

I think the aprons coming back are a sign of our times that we are wanting to get back to relaxing, cooking on our own instead of rushing for fast food and entertaining more than we did before gas prices shot up.

I also make aprons and have a few ready to go. If you like the idea of wearing an apron and helping charities this is the way to go. I am donating 50% of all the apron profits to the following charities, so choose an apron and choose your charity.

  1. Victory Junction Gang Camp (supports child with life threatening disabilities) at: www.victoryjunction.org.
  2. Susan G. Komen Foundation (breast cancer research) at: www.komen.org.
  3. SARRC/Southwest Autism Resource and Research Center at: www.autismcenter.org.
  4. Shrine Hospitals for Children at: www.shrinershq.org.
  5. St. Jude's Childrens Hospital at: www.stjude.org.
  6. Deborah Heart and Lung Center at: www.deborah.org.
  7. Arizona Humane Society at: www.azhumane.org.
  8. American Rehabilitation Ministries (for prisoner bible studies) at: www.arm.org.
  9. Easter Seals at: www.easterseals.com
  10. Disabled American Veterans at: www.dav.org

These are just 10 charities I will be donating to when aprons or quilts are made. If you have a sweet spot in your heart for another charity, I can specifically send your purchase profit to the charity of your choice and after researching, it may wind up on the above list.

Let me know if you are interested in an apron and I will send you a picture of what I have.
