In the beginning we sent this letter around to friends, family, and others :
Dear Family & Friends.
I need some help from the All of you. I'm thinking of a project to last me all year. On Oprah, she gave the audience $1000, to go out and do good deeds. That made me think what I could do with that, in terms of good deed quilts, and if I could get others to help in some form. So on a MUCH smaller scale... I'm taking $100 of my own......added to what ever COTTON fabrics I can get scrambled up.... and what ever Joann, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby cards I can beg off friends and family.... donations...yardage ...scraps......... to see how many quilts I can DO.... Could YOU search your own homes and round up good cottons..... scraps........ actual fabrics from other sewers... gift cards from the above , etc. and buzz them to me to make good use of?? This will be an on going project for the year.
I'm thinking of sending the finished quilts to the Linus Quilt Project for sick kids. http://www.projectlinus.org
I May also send some to Habitat for Humanity houses. I did couple bed size quilts for HH in Mason City a few years back.
we will also be adding to the church blanket gathering
~~Well that's my idea...... Let's see how far I can go with it. Can you help?~~~~~ Karyl
