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.

I want your pocket change & other things

Okay, I feel like I am beating a dead horse to death on this one, but please trust me when I say someday you will need to call 911 & someday may be sooner than you expect. The chances are when the operator picks up she will be kind, empathtic and professional & in spite of all this, she may be suffering her own problems but would never stay home or let the public know she is hurting or in need.

Are you just going to ignore my plea's for help to continue the help I am giving to them? To help them find comfort in some small way?

I still need the following to continue on:

14- Quilters Need to Know Card #80932 $5.95 each
15-Fons and Porter's Perfect Binding Cards #81035 $5.95
16- Triangle Measurement Card #80595 $4.00
17- Machine Needle Threader #81659 $5.59
18- Sew Easy Guide #81785 $5.00
19- Machine Seam Gauge & Adhesive Guide #81716 $4.89

Notice each one of these items is less than $6.50. Which means they are less than the cost of a supersized meal at Burger King, less than 2 cups of coffee at starbucks, less than a tank of gas and probably less than the pocket change you collected in your change jar this week. Can't you please reach into your pockets and your hearts and donate to my cause?

911 dispatchers are the least recognized people in the field of emergency response teams because we are not seen and we are forgotten once help arrives, the help that we sent, but we don't worry about it or complain, we just continue to do our jobs to the best of our abilities.

If you really want to help, get a group together and you can all pitch in for a week, here are some more of the higher end needs I have:

1-Country Thread Set #20911 $23.852

2-Pastel Thread Set #20909 $7.953

3-Bright Thread Set # 20910 $15.904

4- Variegated Thread Set #20912 $23.90

6-Lancaster Lesson Sampler #108778 $17.60

7-Applique Gold Needles Size 10 #20932 $2.75 per set

8-Milliners Gold Needles Size 10 #20936 $2.75

Remember all these things are available at Connecting Threads.com and they have been the cheapest and most reasonable quilting shop I have found out there yet.

Pray about it and then send in the above, you won't be wrong in your decisison. After all, 911 is there to help you when you need them, won't you help them now that they need you?
