A Basket Full of Quilts for Jack


Happy Friday! I normally get my posts ready on Thursdays but I got behind this week.  The quilts I have to show this week aren't for CiL, but they are charity quilts!


Since I'm settling into my new quilting space I wanted to work on some smaller projects and Christine from FL had sent me 5 baby quilt tops for Jack's Basket all kitted up with matching backing and bindings.


These 5 baby quilts were the perfect way to break in my new space with some quick projects for my other favorite charity ;)


Jack's Basket gives education and supportive Welcome Baskets to babies born with Down Syndrome.  The remind families that their baby is beautiful and deserves to be celebrated during a time when that message has often gotten lost.


They appreciate having quilts to place in their baskets and I enjoy sewing these smaller quilts from time to time.  Besides Christine's kitted quilts I also had 2 small flannel tops from Priscilla that I finished and added to the box.


Seven cute quilts off to welcome new babies, and my new sewing space is officially in business!


Speaking of the new space, I promise to make a separate house-tour post this weekend and tell you all about it!

The kitties got a tree for Christmas
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 500 so far! The Nov/Dec drive is going on now.  Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

  4. The quilt tops from Christine & Priscilla are wonderful for Jack's Basket. I can't think of a better way to begin your new sewing space in your new home. They will be such a blessing to seven new babies. Can't wait for the tour of your home. Looks like Fudge loves his Christmas tree!

  6. I sent 2 quilts to Jack's Baskets this year for H2H and plan to do more as soon as I finish up a few things. It's nice to have small projects to quilt on my DSM. My Nov/Dec CiL blocks are done. Just need to package them up and get to the PO. Merry Christmas and thank you for all you do for others.
