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.

Breast Cancer Quilt

For over a year now, I have had a completed quilt for Breast Cancer. I originally made it to sell on Ebay for charity with all the profits going for charity. It was a basic pieced quilt with breast cancer ribbons in various designs and colors with a soft as a cloud fleece back that I hand quilted the ribbons around the back.

I was only asking $75, but it never sold. Trust me it was well worth the $75. But the Lord showed me last week why it never sold. Logging onto 911 cares, I discovered a police dispatcher out of San Jose, CA that was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The quilt was boxed up and mailed to her. God knew what was going on.

I met a man at UPS who told me my quilts were priceless because in today's world no one takes time to reach out to others and I am and he blessed me. I felt good about my quilting. They are like my children and I really do care about the people I send them to.

It is still hot here in Arizona & I am still looking for that wealthy person out there that is looking to treat grandparents and grandchildren to a trip to Sea World or Disneyland to get us out of the heat.

It is so sad to see my hubbies hard work on our lawns and shrubs and they are all dying. :(

I will keep writing, I figure sooner or later someone will trip across this and let me know they read by dribble!
