Katie of Swim, Bike, Quilt e-mailed me a while back about a quilt drive that she began last year in conjunction with the DC Modern Quilt Guild called 100 Quilts for Kids. She’s doing it again and you can help!
All you need to do to participate is make a quilt for a child and donate it to your local women’s shelter or other community organization. The quilt can be any size; baby, toddler or twin. Share a photo of your quilt and you’ll be eligible to win prizes (a copy of 1, 2, 3 Sew for instance). I love this idea and think it’s a fantastic way to bring something handmade and useful into a child’s life.
So check out Katie’s blog for the details, dates and prizes.
I started working on a quilt and just finished the top. Hope to put it together in the next few weeks and donate it locally. Thanks for the inspiration, Katie!
What a striking design, Ellen, and a great idea, Katie.
Thanks so much! Love the mix of fabrics, too!
Love the pattern, where can I find it??
When a family memeber went to a local “safe house”. the local church groups gave them a quilt for them to keep. I opened allot hearts.
