Quilts for Ronald McDonald House
 
6 Attachment(s)
The Ronald McDonald House at our large hospital has just had a major extension with 25 rooms added, the social worker contacted a local patchwork group to see if they would be interested in making quilts and bed runners for the new rooms. That patchwork group contacted my patchwork group (its a small area and everyone knows everyone) to see if we would be interested in sharing the workload. The requirements were 50 inch square quilts and bed runners 24 by 64 inches and they must match. So this is my contribution. All fabric has come from my stash, wish I could see a dent but sadly I can't:D These will be delivered this week.
Thank you for looking

Those are beautiful--so cheerful--just what sick kids' stressed families need! Brava!

What beautiful work you've done! Surely these pieces will ease the pain and encourage the souls of many.

The things you made are lovely - but the size requirements seem sort of odd to me.

What purpos do the bed runners serve? (Besides decoration)

Beautiful work!! I just love the third quilt set. They remind me of Billie Lauder. That block is on my bucket list. You are very generous.

bearisgray the quilts and bed runners are to decorate or "dress" the rooms, there is a double bed and a single bed to each room. The quilts will be centred on the double bed and the bed runner will be on the single bed. I hope that makes sense.
Both of these patchwork groups that I support make quilts that go directly to the oncology and childrens ward at the hospital and these quilts are given to sick children to keep.

As always, incredible and generous work on your part, MiraB!

What I particularly like is that you made each set unique.
Others would be apt to use the same pattern, and just switch up the fabrics.

Wow, all matching and all from your stash! well done and very generous. I'm sure they will make the beds look very nice.

Wonderful work! Kudos to you and your group to contribute your time, talent and stash to such a worthy cause.

Very nice, pretty quilts! You are making a lot of people happy, and how generous of you to make all these nice quilts and runners! Great job!

You do lovely work! Bless you for your generosity~

That is so wonderful that you are helping like that. When my daughter first was diagnosed with crohns, we stayed at the Ronald McDonald house. They help so much. I can't believe how much they do for families and when you have nowhere to go, you can be right by you child. After our stay, I gave them 50 pillowcases.

Beautiful quilts. I especially love the stained glass one. So often we make charity quilts out of fabrics that aren't really pretty just to get rid of it in our stash, but you have made some lovely quilts.

RedGarnet222 11-03-2013 08:23 AM

Wow! You got right on that challenge and met it with flying colors, Mirabelle! How perfect are these happy quilts?
