Charity Quilts
Original Quilts feels it is important to offer time to work on
charity quilts. I've spent many hours doing charity work, but with Original
Quilts and Bug Fabric my time is limited, so I try to donate when I can. Here
are some of the quilt's I've worked on for charity. At Stone Soup we make quilts for patients at Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. At Block Party Quilter's, we make quilts
for Ronald McDonald House, and in Quilter's Anonymous we make premature baby quilts.
For the Stray Threads Quilt Guild and Dress a Girl Around the World, I've
donated many yards of fabric! (Please do not ask for donations - our donations
are handled for the year.) I also do China Orphanage quilts. See the quilts that I have helped make for these charities below:

100 Good Wishes Yahoo Group Charity Quilt
I received this quilt as a pieced top, and I quilted it with hearts and
did the binding work. It was a labor of love from all the women in the
OHGWQ Yahoo group. Thanks to all those women with helping hands who
created blocks, and pieced it!

Half the Sky Charity Quilt
This quilt was a labor of love from our Yahoo 100 Good Wishes Quilt
Group. We had a bug fabric exchange where we all exchanged fabrics with
bugs on them. Chris Schulte collected the bug blocks for this quilt and
pieced the top. She sent it to me, and I added a border, quilted, and
finished the binding work. We will now ship this to Half the Sky www.halfthesky.org,
and they will either auction this off, or take it to one of the orphanages
in China.

Quilts for a China Orphanage
A friend of mine in North Carolina is waiting for her travel date to go
to China to pick up her new daughter. In the waiting, she asked me if I
could help in getting these four cuddle quilts made so that she can take
them and give them to the orphanage. I have a friend who offered to do the
piecing of the tops for this project, then I quilted them and attached the
bindings. The final hand work on the bindings will be done by my friend
prior to her trip to China. The four quilts are shown, and the last photo
shows the detail of the hearts in the quilting.
Completed February 2003.

Stone Soup Quilting
Many people come together to make the quilts for patients at Fred
Hutch. A group of women make up the quilt kits, some piece the tops,
others quilt, and some finish bindings.
I quilted these four quilts, and finished the binding on them and
delivered them back to Stone Soup Quilting in December 2002. |

Ronald McDonald House
At our local quilt guild show, children draw on quilt blocks, then we
make them into quilts for the Ronald McDonald House. I received this quilt
top already pieced, and I quilted it and finished the binding. The second
photo shows the back of the quilt. Completed July 2002 |

Stone Soup Quilting
I added the bindings to these three quilts. These quilts go to Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle to patients.

China Orphanage Quilt The blocks of this quilt were
made by a client of mine. I added borders to the blocks to make them all
the same size and added sashing between them. I gave this quilt to my
friends Cindy & Richard to take with them to China to pick up their
adoptive daughter. They gave this quilt to the people at the orphanage in
China, so that a child in need of comfort can be wrapped in this warmth. Each of the nine
sampler blocks were machine quilted a bit different. Completed June 2002. |
