Allie, I just want to acknowledge you for helping me be aware of this particular area of need. I'm enjoying creating pieces for charity instead of worrying about selling them and for how much they can get. I found another group that is happy to receive my mini quilts for dolls and teddies, besides Mary and Sharon, and that is Birthday Wishes. Their link is www.birthdaywishes.org if anyone wants to check it out. They create birthday parties for kids who are in shelters. Right now they are only in Mass. but hope to expand someday. There's another project for Sharon and Mary!!
Please take good care of yourself first and then your "work" will be there waiting for you!

Great, Eileen! I'll try my best to get some blankets to you this week. I'll post pictures here before they ship.

You rock!

thanks Mary, but no rush. Figure it will take me at least a month to make enough to bring them. I'll send you some teddy quilts in return.

thanks so much, Dawn! I should get in gear to send a couple packages out to Sharon and Mary too! Amazing how life can get in the way of sewing! And the birds....they are my new distraction! I haven't forgotten that we talked about exchanging fabric. I'm just not clear what to send you. You are working at a thrift shop right? I spent quite a bit at my local one just to find fun fabrics, and buttons especially.....for a while I was really into them for embellishing art projects. I'd always wait for the item to be at 99 cents! I'll post your blankies in photos when they arrive.

we have fabric at our thrift store, but not much that's useful for quilting. mostly doubleknits and a lot of black "duck". every so often i find something i like though. and the other day we got a big baggie full of different coloured embroidery floss donated! i snatched that up since Walmart doesn't carry it any more. sometimes we'll get clothes donated that aren't usable but have pretty buttons and i'll clip them off. i know what you mean about life getting in the way of sewing LOL. it happens to me a lot.

i tend towards bright colored fabrics and prints, as well as medium/narrow trims that i use when i make dolls. no worries or hurries, i'm not going anywhere anytime soon LOL. or if you don't feel like exchanging that's okay too. Hugs, Dawn
