The Sewing Mom

Note: I have received no compensation of any kind for this post. I simply believe in what this organization is doing.

I haven’t been sewing lately, but I wanted to share this information.  Quilts For Kids is a wonderful organization and I have made quilts for them in the past.  This organization that takes donated quilts and give them to children in need of comfort.  These children may be undergoing chemo therapy, or fighting some other disease.  Having these quilts gives these young patients something colorful in an otherwise drab and sterile environment.  

n addition, did you know that many bolts of unused/unsold fabric ends up in land fills?  As someone addicted to purchasing fabric, I find that to be horrendous!  Quilts For Kids works with fabric manufacturers to take those bolts of fabric and use it for making these quilts.  So, not only are they helping children, they’re also helping the environment by reducing the amount of waste filling up our landfills.  The fabric they receive, they cut and will send you everything you need to make a quilt, as a kit.  You only need to provide the thread, batting and the love.

My sister Grace is so busy. Not only does she work, take care of her own home and help out with watching her grand-daughters, but she also makes time to sew. She has created a number of quilts for the “Quilts for Kids” charity and I wanted to share of couple of her latest. This is a wonderful charity program and every quilt goes to a child who will cherish it.
