Ok need your help ladies....
I have taken a little gal from my neighborhood under my wing. She expressed a huge interest in learning how to make a quilt. She is 14 and in a program called “Young Women in Excellence”. In this program it teaches them to make goals and learn new skills. . She wants to learn how to sew and also learn about people who quilt and why they quilt. I thought this Board would be the perfect solution. If you would like to help me help her we have come up with something fun. If you had time would you send a 6 inch square of fabric or a couple if you can spare it and also write down on a piece of paper your name where your from and the reason or what got you started sewing and why you are still sewing. She is going to be keeping a scrapbook about her quilt as we build it. If you are interested please PM. She is so excited about this… Her name is Justeena.

I would love to send some pieces of fabric for Justeena. What a great idea. I'm assuming any color will be okay?? If not, let me know any particulars.

OK...I am sending this out tomorrow to go with the above fabric. It is 2 shades of pink and a light green. I think she can do something awesome with this stuff.

Oh my goodness that is wonderful what beautiful colors. Thank you so much! I can just imagine her face when she sees how wonderful you all are. I told her mom and she cried because they have no money and she was worried she was going to have to buy stuff for her. I said it was taken care of by some wonderful Angels. I'll post pictures.

I would like to send something also, I just sent a PM to you.

I want to commend you on being a mentor to a new quilter. The time you spend getting her started will stay with both of you forever!

I sent you a PM too. I would love to help your little friend.

Perhaps you will collect enough for her that she can get her mom involved and teach her too.

I'd love to help, what a wonderful project. Sorry, BUT, what is a PM?(private message?)and how do you do that. I'm new. Guess that's to know where to sent the fabric.

OOP's think I just figured it out. Thanks

Ok, sounds great. I will pm you.

Just click on the blue underlined name. and it brings up a box , so you can message them.

I'd like to help as well... :) PM on its way!

I would love to help! Sending you a PM!

I will send a square and some scraps. Does she have favorite colors? And where do I send them?

Send me an adress. I had to quit quilting and have lots of scraps to cut 6"sqs. I hope she stays with it as most young women nowdays can;t even sew a button on.
