Sew Some Love

Welcome to the Sew Some Love linkup!  Please link-up any post about a project you're sewing for charity.


The end is in sight with the star blocks from this summer's block drive. I laid out the last three tops on the design wall over the weekend.


Two of these are going to a local quilter, Kathy, to finish. Kathy is always willing to help however I need it. I can give her a bag of blocks and a few weeks later she'll bring back a finished quilt!  The world needs more Kathys, that's for sure :)


Covered in Love has been so blessed by donations from quilters, I want you all to see what each other have going on!  For purposes of the linky, I'm going to define "charity" really generally.  If you're sewing a quilt for you co-worker's mom with cancer or your friend's uncle who lost his home, that totally counts!  Anything you're sewing out of the goodness of your heart for someone outside you immediate circle of family and friends. 




Some Quilt Charities:

  1. I haven't posted about my charity blocks, yet, but I'm making a twin size, very scrappy leader/ended QAYG quilt for a local homeless initiative.

  2. It's always fun to see all the drive blocks together and I'm looking forward to seeing what Kathy does with them :)
