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.

So many blogs and not enough time



Wow! Today, I found lots of quilting blogs and all were so great to read and see all the pictures, it is amazing how everyone that quilts shows a piece of their own hearts. Some in charity work, some in sharing with others, some teaching those of us that need to learn. I am just amazed that we can all reach out to each other this way.

One of the neat ones I discovered was called 'Prayers and Squares,' people that get together and pray while making quilts for a person in need. That was pretty cool. It is also great to know in spite of what we hear about charity misdoings, so many of us still try to reach out and touch others hearts.

Keep up all the great work everyone, I know what you do inspires me in so many ways. Even if it is just the inspiration to keep quilting or take some time out of my busy day to relax and read what others are doing.

Here are a few pictures of the latest quilt I mailed out to a dispatcher in Mississippi. The woman requested a king size quilt in yellow. I found a quick pattern in Quick Quilts and completed this with a yellow sheet on the back (anyone know where I can buy wide backing material, would appreciate an Email on it). it was then hand tied by myself and my 5 year old granddaughter.

    Oh, this quilt is so pretty! I love the colors.

    Saw your comment on my blog so I thought I'd check out yours. Yes, it takes awhile to build up some daily readers and you probably already have alot but don't know because most people don't leave comments.

    My suggestion is to hang in here and keep blogging. Eventually you'll gather a following. And try to post photos as often as you can. People like to see what you're working on.

    I like too what you're doing with your quilts. What a wonderful gift you're giving. When I have some free time, I'll see if I have anything extra in my stash. I probably have some cotton prints I can send you. I've got a heavy workload at the moment so it may be a bit before I have extra time to go through my things.

    Happy Blogging!

    Pam
