I have a new project to pitch:
I think we will be quilting for a local Battered Women's center, I used to be involved with. We can be making teddy bears with mini quilts for the kids and a quilt for each mom and her children. They usually come with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The turnover there is probably close to how many quilts my group of quilters can put out, and we or I will teach teddy's to anyone interested!

what a great idea! i am so glad that you are going to continue to quilt. it will do so much for those families self esteem to know that someone cares enough to do that for them - i remember how after i finally got away from my first (abusive) husband i felt like i didn't even deserve to take up space in the world. Hugs, Dawn

Me too Dawn! My ex put me in the ER 6 times in 4 years and ran over me with a car!
I have so much excitement about this project!!!
Hope you will be on our team!
I am thinking of starting a group here...got any ideas for a name?
Help For Hopeful Souls, Hope for Hurting Souls, Quilts and More.
We are brainstorming before we post the group...hmmm...

the woman in charge of the Southeast Texas Women's Shelter told me the other day that she tells the women she works with, " Remember that song 'I am Woman, Hear Me Roar"? We are going to help you get your roar back". i thought that was so cool.

ideas for the group's name:

" Get Ready to Roar"

or "Stitching Our Way Strong",

or "Pieces of our Hearts"

or "Wrap Our Sisters with Love"

or "Piecing It All Together.
