So, someone forgot about that whole 28-days-in-February thing. And someone is me. March 1st snuck up on me! For March and April this year we won't be doing a traditional block drive, instead I'm going to direct you toward Sarah's annual Hands2Help Drive over at her blog. You can register and post pictures (even if you don't have a blog). There are prizes!
Every year Sarah chooses different charities to feature for quilters to make quilts for. Covered in Love is one of the selected charities this year, but please look at the other charities and make a quilt for any of them! Some only need smaller quilts or tops, which would obviously be a lot easier to complete.
Sarah also posts coordinated tutorials along with the drive every year to inspire everyone and this year's theme is strings! How perfect, right after our string drive. You can see all the tutorials for different kinds of string quilts on her blog here to give you some ideas.
So, please go check out the Hands2Help drive! I'll be following along with all the linkups to see what things people make :)
I was super excited to see Covered in Love as a designated charity for Hands2Help. Gee, I guess I'll make a quilt or two :)
ReplyDeleteGot ya covered, Kat! I've signed up for H2H and even have one of the Guest Blogger spots this year. Best of luck on getting some catch-up work done!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad CiL in on the list for H2H this year! I'm not sure I will be able to participate this time around so hopefully someone else will step up to take my place. :)
ReplyDeleteYea for CiL being included for H2H. I've been doing quilts for her various charities for several years. I need to pop on over there and sign up. I've actually made a few quilts that might fit the needs of the chosen charities. I'm looking forward to May-June.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out, Kat!! It's always an honor to have CiL as one of the charities for H2H...
ReplyDeleteI’ve read a lot of info on the Hands2Help website but I’m a little confused. I’m new to this program so I don’t understand everything that was mentioned (like posting “buttons”, etc). If I want to send a quilt top to Covered in Love but don’t care about being entered in the drawings, do I still need to register on the Hand2Help site? Thanks.
