It’s hard to believe, but have a big birthday coming up this month! As I thought about what I wanted for my big day, I knew I didn’t need or want any gifts for myself – I wanted a way to give back to others.
My heart is so heavy seeing the news of all the devastation in North Carolina, and I wanted to do some small thing to bring warmth and comfort to those who are now displaced. So, for my birthday this year, I’d like your help in making a quilt together which we will send to someone in need!
Here’s how it’s going to work: All of the students in my class are invited to take part and make one block during thier class time next week.
Anyone else who wants to join in, email me at jolene@jolenesews.com and set up a time to come and pick up your pre-cut block fabric to put together at home and return to me! Each block will come with everything you need – instructions and fabric – and should take no more than half an hour.
My goal is to get all blocks back by the week of December 9th. Then I’ll get it put together into one big quilt, and send it off!
Quilts are more than a gift – You can wrap up in it and feel the love from the person on the other side, the comfort, happiness and warmth. I can’t wait to share photos of the completed quilt with you – it already makes my heart sing. What a wonderful birthday present this will be!
