Quilting for Charity Groups are everywhere, because ...admit it....we love to buy fabric! We love to cut it up and play with it! And we can only use so many quilts for ourselves! And Then!!! There is this superb streak of generosity from quilters all over the world!
Today I'm teaming up with Jo Kramer at Jo's Country Junction to sandwich and finish up some quilts for great causes. Jo has been a volunteer because of a true desire and tribute to her own 'giving' parents. You can read all about her at her landing page for Charity Quilts.
Recently, I received a package from Jo to share with those in need of a "hug". I'll be showing off here and forwarding a picture to Jo for sharing at her blog as well.
This was donated Anonymously to Jo and forwarded onto to me for finishing. The backing fabric was provided and I generously pin-basted to practice some in-the-hoop quilting motifs.
Add im some pratice swirls and embroidery motifs for the borders! And wa-laa! No quilt is finished until it has a Lovely Photo Shoot!
This quilt has been sent off for some comfort for a cancer patient in Michigan. It's a Warm Hug Quilt to wrap themselves in when in need of a little extra self-care. Thanks Jo! for including me in your team of generous quilters!
