100 Quilts for Kids

I love this event!!!!!  Katie at Swim Bike Quilt and the DC Modern Quilting Guild host an annual event to bring awareness to charity sewing for children. You can donate anywhere you wish and link up for a chance to win some lovely items!!!  Last year, I chose Project Linus and this year I am choosing a local organization that supports families that have a child with pediatric cancer, Project Fairy Godmother. I spoke to my pool friend ( I really only see her at the pool) that is involved in the organization ( did I mention she is AWESOME) and it was decided that I would make quilts for two five year olds, one boy and one girl.

When Dear Stella sent me all the wonderful fabrics to play with I KNEW that the It's a Shore Thing was the winner for the girl quilt! Happy, bright, sweet and calming all at the same time...perfect!

Here is the finished quilt!

I used Dear Stella Fabrics, Pellon Legacy cotton batting, Aurifil 50wt thread, and Kona white.

For the boy's quilt, I am donating my first wonky log cabin fishy friends. It is NOT SNOWING here, LOL! These are old photos :o)

Katie from Swim, Bike, Quilt is organizing a great charity event that runs until Oct 15. I know I mentioned it before but I know I forgot to mention that there are also some awesome giveaways 

Katie gave me permission to copy and paste this incredible list of sponsored giveaways from her blog!!!! This is an absolute win/win situation :o) Thanks so much to Katie and to all the giveaway sponsors!

I will be adding a little something to the giveaway too! You all know how much I love a good giveaway. Two charm packs of Moda Punctuation.  

100 Quilts: The Sponsors

I have been so excited to announce all of the fabulous prizes associated with 100 Quilts for Kids, donated by shops, designers, sewing enthusiasts, and friends.  A giant thank you to everyone for your generosity!!! I hope this encourages a few more people to make and donate a quilt. Or 2 (Each quilt you make & donate will get you an additional entry to win one of these prizes ;).  And a very special thank you to Delray Fabrics, Jennifer Paganelli and Fat Quarter Shop for donating big boxes full of fabrics for DC Modern to use to make quilts for kids this weekend. 
[Note: Sponsors are listed alphabetically--I hope to be adding a few more sponsors before October 15, and will update the list as that happens. And a reminder, make sure to click on the links, not pictures!]
