Welcome to my Website!
This is a place to help people in need, in a group effort. It is always easier to combine efforts, and hope, and friendship, then to try alone.
Please Enjoy Your Stay.
Check back soon, I will keep updating. UPDATED July 17, 2007
I will be adding pictures shortly.
I started this web page so that people with like interests in sewing and crocheting, can unite to help others. I starting crafting for charity about 3 years ago. I learned quickly that combining supplies and ideals is a great way to get more accomplished quickly. As crafters we always have a few inches of fabric we just hate to throw, now you don't have to. These little scraps can be combined with others to give someone a warm quilt in time's of need, "A warm, scrappyhug."
How can you help??
As you are crafting, sewing, etc, remember that those small scraps can help in a big way. If you mail me something I don't need at the moment, I always know of someone can use it.

What I am working on now!!!
This section will tell you the size and type of fabric that I can use now, remember, if you don't want to cut, you can send the whole scrap, cutting to size may save you postage however. If you have something not on the list, and you want to get rid of it, I will find a use for it.
Fleece Scrappy Blanket
I am currently working with 4 inch scraps. Any color, any pattern, it will all fit together to make a childs quilt. Anything close to fleece works. I have some nappy, stretchy fabric in one blanket, it is really cute. Another fabric looks like terry.
Flannel Scrappy Blanket
The blanket I am working on now has 6 inch squares. Any color, any pattern.
Cotton/Cotton Blend Quilt tops.
Children any print will do, does not have to be child prints Can also be holiday 3 inch blocks 4 inch blocks 6 inch blocks
7 1/2 inch blocks 12inch x any size, example 12 x 3, 12 x 36
Adult
12 inch x (whatever you have) example 12 x 3, 12 x 45, any fabric that is fairly sturdy, these make a 7 x 7 quilt top to donate to adults. I have used cotton, cotton blends, jeans, courdoury, Jean fabric can be from recycled jeans.
Receiving Blankets:
Any fabric that you think is sutiable for a going home blanket is fine. I have been using 2 layers of cotton, 1 layer of flannel, 1 layer of fleece. Any size you have will work. My goal is hundred blankets a month.
Thanks to those that have donated fabric & yarn & supplies
