Small actions provide big reactions.

We can all make a difference!!!

If you love to crochet, blankets to put in burial kits are needed.  Any pretty color, 14" x 14", 20" x 20", and 36" x 36" are used as a keepsake for the parents.

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.

UPDATED September 25, 2008.  I am in the process of updating groups we help, and things needed.

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 6 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,and I will cut to the size I need.  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, and 6 inch squares.  Any color, any pattern, it will all fit together to make a childs quilt.  Anything close to fleece works.  

Flannel Scrappy Blanket

The blanket I am working on now has 6 inch squares.  Any color, any pattern.

Cotton/Cotton Blend Quilt tops.

                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 so far:

Once the quilt tops are finished, I have several wonderful helpers who put the tops together.  The blankets are then delivered to charities.

 

I work with several sewing buddies, we swap supplies, cut items, and talents.
