Charity Quilts

Sarah  is hosting a Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge and I am very excited to say I've 5 quilts to donate!

The first are baby quilts for  Jack's Basket - an organization that delivers baskets to families who are celebrating the birth of a new baby with Down syndrome.  As a mom of a now 23 year old with Down syndrome, this organization really touched my heart.

I'd won a large bundle of kid fabric a year or so ago and finally put it to good use making two baby quilts.



I still have plenty of fabric left and will gift it to a friend to make her own charity quilts.


My next 3 quilts - I'm a bit embarrassed to say - sat for far too long in an almost but not yet complete state.   They all needed bindings and I had to hunt through my stash to find fabric that would work.  Fresh from the dryer and all nicely crinkly, I am happy to say they are done!


These are large quilts and I'll be donating them to the Carolina Hurricane Project.  (My LQG Cary Quilting Company is a drop off point.)   I'm happy now that they are going to be going to their forever home and hope they will bring comfort.

I'll be joining the link-up here.

Have a wonderful day! Patty
