Wrap Up in a Quilt

I had a wonderful time at quilt retreat ... the 12th year that I've spent a long weekend with these friends of mine!

This year I worked on getting some projects completed. One thing that's been hanging around far too long is my donation for Seattle Childrens. The quilt guild I used to belong to had an ongoing tradition of making quilts for the children staying at the hospital. I have had several tops all done and ready to finish, just sitting in my sewing room!

So over the weekend, along with several other projects, I got five of these complete! They were immediately handed off to another member of the guild, so that they can get donated right away.

Feels so good to get those projects completed and to pass on a little bit of love!

Next Up ... Baby Food

I've been working on a few things (that must remain under wraps for the time being), but wondering how to make a bigger impact. We did it with the pet food, what next?

My friend posted on Facebook last night about a commercial asking for donations of pet food. It bugged her, she kept thinking about children that weren't getting fed ... what about them? 

So Marlies, thanks for the idea! 

Between now and the end of February, please consider buying some baby food each time you go to the grocery store. Donate it right at the store or contact me and we'll donate it for you on February 28th.

We ended up with 179 pounds of pet food in January. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could donate more than that in baby food!

The challenge is on!
