Please take a moment to read Lori’s
post today (Humble Quilts). It is about some of the charitable work she has
been doing lately. She is one of the most “giving” people I know (well, we
haven’t actually met in person yet, but I know we will someday). I think as
quilters, we all give of our time and our money to those in need of support. Her
post was particularly timely for me as I spent the weekend finishing up some “donation
quilts”.
This throw sized 4-patch is
going to the National Quilt Museum in Paducah along with a cute little Puss in
the Corner made from feedsacks that I forgot to photograph – argh! They have an
auction every spring to help finance the museum.
I started a few little ones
for our state show this summer where proceeds from the sale will go to the
Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence and I am almost finished with the
binding of a large quilt going to one of our Veteran’s homes. I’ll post photos
of those when they are done. Honestly the hardest part of quilting for me is to
remember to take photos as I go so I can share them on this blog!
Enjoy your day!
Good things you are doing with your quilts, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteYes, Lori is a very giving individual, and is kind to allow us to join in her ventures. : )
I suspect you are just as generous! Have a great day.
DeleteSuch worthy causes. I am going to Paducah quilt show this year--can't wait
ReplyDeleteI hope to go next year. Have a wonderful time and say hi to my little quilt for me.
DeleteThanks for your kind words and the link to my blog. Love your donation quilt- quilters are mostly very generous.
ReplyDeleteHope it steers some funding your way. Enjoy the day.
DeleteWhat a wonderful way of sharing to help with different worthy causes. Donation quilts, I'm sure, always brings smiles from the new owners. Your cute little auction quilt will bring in some $$.
ReplyDeleteI do wish I could go to the auction to see all the little quilts.
Deletewhat a sweet little quilt - and for a good cause!
