Hi, Bonnie --
President-elect Obama has called for a national day of service on MLK Day (next Monday), and I thought it would be a great idea if quilters participated in it by spending a little time that day to work on charity quilts. I just posted the idea on my blog, but I decided to ask if you would be interested in posting something on your blog. You have a very large readership, and I know you do so much quilting for charity, that I thought you might encourage people to spend a little time that day making charity quilts.
If you want to see what I wrote, here's the link
Thanks for considering this!

I had a wonderful day yesterday with TWO quilt guilds. I leave Thursday for VA, and I'm tackling paperwork right now, so no time to update you..if I get all these ducks in a row, I'll be able to catch up more later!!
Cheri has a wonderful idea and thank you for posting. Our guild is currently working on quilts for Angels in Waiting. Nurses that take and care for "fragile babies". So far I have 6 made and 2 more to quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, but I won't be home. I expect, though, to be working on some quilts for Habitat for Humanity next week. They are my Blog Action Day projects from October which have been shoved aside because of time sensitive projects.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie
ReplyDeleteAre you going to be anywhere near Stafford on your trip to VA?

Thanks so much for sharing the idea! I'm hoping lots of quilters will participate.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea...maybe I can finish my block for the donation quilt that raises money for Camp Rainbow.
