Three Quilts for Hurricane Sandy Families
 

I finished these three very simple quilts for children and will send them off on Monday, for Hurricane Sandy victims. Hope they can serve as hugs from far away, for some little people who have been through a lot....

These quilts are beautiful. I am sure they will be treasured and appreciated by those who receive them. Blessings to you.

Very pretty quilts and so nice of you to do that for the children! They will be very much loved!

What a lovely thing to do

:thumbup: They are so cute ! I love all of them. They will be thankful for these gifts. So nice of you.

Very nice and thoughtful!

I am sure your generosity will be very much appreciated.

I am applauding you on your efforsts to help these unfortunate people. Can you please IM me with the address to send quilts to? Thank you

A great contribution to help those people still in need.
peace

I am sure they will be appreciated. I live in an area that was hit pretty hard, as we are 1/2 mile from the water. My family were lucky as we sustained no damage, just inconvience. What I saw while driving today was pretty sad. Almost a month after the storm, there are piles of people's lives on the curb for pick up. The sanitation trucks was picking up on a Sunday. I'm having a hard time fathoming what it must be like for an 84yo woman to have her house gutted, and all her furniture out at the curb. My mom's friend was in an area not close to the beach that was flooded out from a creek not far from her house. I can't even imagine what is going through her head. Furniture that was 60 years old? Ughhh..

barri1, can't imagine how unsettling this was for the elderly, losing their households. I'm glad your home was spared.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. They also need pillowcases, so I might try to make a batch of them too. We all have fabrics we aren't going to use in our stash. I figure, 'Why not put them to good use?'

I'm sure they will keep someone very warm. Good work

Nice quilts for a needed cause. Yes, they will serve as hugs from far away.

very nice job!!!!!

Great quilts for a super cause.....What a Blessing you are. Could you give the pattern name for the pink quilt?

I don't use patterns. I cut pink squares 8"... and the bright colored ones were cut 8.5". I stacked the brights and cut vertically and horizontally, off center, cutting the stack into 4 smaller rectangles. Then I mixed them up and sewed them back together, making them 8" like the pinks. Then I laid them out as you see them. I quilted on either side of the block seams, and quilted big flowers in the centers of the pinks. Hope that helps you figure out how to do it.

They will be well loved I am sure!

very nice job, wonderful cause too.
