What’s better than sewing? Sewing with purpose!
After hearing about the organization Quilts for Kids (www.quiltsforkids.org) online message board, I couldn’t wait to sign up to volunteer. Check out this mission statement (lifted directly from the website):
MISSION STATEMENT: Transforming discontinued, unwanted and other fabrics into patchwork quilts that comfort children with life-threatening illnesses and children of abuse.
They send a complete kit with fabric and instructions, and all you do is kick back, follow the directions, and sew.
.
This was an awesome experience. I’m not really nutso about quilting, but having the part I hate done (cutting) and working on something a manageable size made this project a breeze.
