Today is the link up for the Hands 2 Help Charity Quilt Challenge 2013 over at Sarah's Confessions of a Fabric Addict. I committed myself to donating two quilts - one for Happy Chemo and one for Quilts Beyond Borders.
I love playing with scraps and pulled my barrel of 2" squares to make a Postage Stamp quilt. The tradition of these is not only of early recyling, but where usually gifted to a new family into the community. This quilt has been sent and confirmed received by Happy Chemo.
I fell in love with this line - Apple Jacks by Tim & Beck and thought it would make a fun quilt full of color and texture. A great snuggle, full of hugs quilt for a child. This quilt has been sent and confirmed received by Quilts Beyond Borders.
Thank you Sarah for again organizing this Charity Challenge, to all the sponsors, and a huge thank you to all those who have participated.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
