Kids Helping Kids!

Hi, all!

I wanted to share this picture with you - the children in our church decided to join in the Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge this year when they found out that one of the charities was quilts for Ethiopian orphans.  They have been studying mission efforts in Ethiopia and this was a perfect tie in.  They worked together with the ladies in our quilting group to create seventeen quilts that were sent to Quilts Beyond Borders for distribution in Ethiopia.  

Carla from Quilts Beyond Borders has written a very sweet blogpost that features these quilts and some others donated through the Hands2Help Challenge that you can read here.  If you're looking for a place to donate a quilt for the 100 Quilts For Kids charity drive (you can read about that here), I would highly recommend these folks.  They do great work!!

Hugs!

This quilt is going to Sarah's quilt drive.....

HANDS2HELP.

 

I began with a brown and pink jelly roll

and added some orphan blocks.

 

I like the way the orphan blocks

introduce GREEN!!!

I would NEVER have thought to ADD it!

The green border ties it all together.

 

House, Hearts and Cupcake!

What a FUN mix!

Four Quilts for New Orleans

Hi, all!


I wanted to show off four quilts I finished this week that will be going to New Orleans in the fall...

These four tops were sent to us by Katie of Swim Bike Quilt!  Thanks, Katie!!  They'll be added to the other quilts sent as part of the Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge.

Oh - and speaking of Katie, she's once again hosting 100 Quilts For Kids, running this year from June 15th to October 15th.  You can read more about it here!

Hugs!
