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.

Quilts for New York Dispatcher's Children

,a>


Well, here they are as promised, pictures of the quilts I made for the dispatchers in Broome County NY that were flooded out of their homes this past season. I was asked to make 5 quilts and you can see 4 hanging on the back of my couch.

There is a close up of the 2 boys quilts, both portraying baseball teams in a different way. There is the infant girls quilt on the right. It has taken me a bit over 3 weeks to get these done and that includes working on them as opposed to sleeping at times. The Americana quilt was special request for one of these children who loves our flag and the red, white and blue of America. May God Bless her!

The cost to ship these out was $27.09 so that leaves me just under $35 left from my birthday and with the recent 911 Cares contribution to make some more or at least mail another one of two quilts off.

I am still looking for contributors to help in the area of cash, thread, batting and the other items requested through out this blog.
