Red White Blue charity quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
These blocks were made by Piecemakers quilt group (in Ohio) a few months back and I won them. My friend and I decided to donate the quilt, after it was completed as you see it, to the local American Legion post. They send boxes to military men currently serving anywhere in the world. So far nearly 10,000 boxes have been sent - astounding considering this post is located in a community of (far) less than 1000 people. They have events throughout the year to raise money for the contents of the boxes as well as shipping. This quilt will be raffled at this year's events and presented to the winner later in the year. Hopefully it will be a good money maker for them.

That's lovely. :) It reminds me of a lot of the quilts our church group makes to take to a local VA hospital. :)

good luck with that fundraising. I sold a book of cowboy story poems I wrote and had the copy place print out, then made into a 'booklet' and raised money for the American Cancer Place. It is a good thing to be able to help another person I heard at least 2 more dolls were needed in this or adjoining county for a child with cancer, so will be donating two more of my dolls, hoping they will be of comfort to the kids. Not necessarily these two but dolls similar. I have 8 hanging out in our spare room on the bed. These are the sleepy sides of the boy and girl doll. Flip the nightgown and she becomes a doll in a fancy dress wearing bright eyes and a smile. Turn the boy to the front and he does the same.
