Support 100 Quilts For Kids!

I’m excited to participate in 100 Quilts for Kids this year – both with a donation quilt and as one of the prize sponsors. (So If I happen to win one of the random drawings, I’ll be glad to pass that onto someone else!)

Busy Hands

“Busy Hands” – the quilt I will be donating to 100 Quilts for Kids this year.

100 Quilts for Kids is an annual charity quilt drive to encourage quilters to make a quilt, donate it to a child in need, and be entered for fabulous prizes for their efforts. In 2014, 100 Quilts for Kids will run from August 1st-September 30th.

The idea is to find a local charity to support. I plan on giving my quilt to Project Linus, and you can click here for tons of other ideas of where you can donate.

Heather is hosting a linky party on her site where you can share pictures of quilts you are making and donating. So be sure to join in the fun! After all, isn’t sewing with a purpose so rewarding?

    Love the quilt. Our Quilt guild has a challenge going this year. If you make 8 quilts (at least 45″x 45″) your name goes into a drawing for $275.00. We donate these quilts to the local Children’s hospital. I have done 4 out of the 8, I have till November. I think she has received over 100 quilts so far.
