Giveaway for Kids
Filed Under Fusible interfacing appliqué, In a Twinkle |
Due to a printing glitch and subsequent reprinting, I ended up with way more copies of In a Twinkle: Youthful Quilt Designs than I needed. It’s time for them to move away from home!
If you’re a member of a group that makes and donates quilts for kids in need, email me at “topdog at quiltpuppy.com” and tell me about your group. I’ll send you 6 copies (as many as I can stuff in a bubble mailer) by the “slow boat to China,” Media Mail. If you feel like paying me back for the postage, you can PayPal a couple bucks to the same address.
If you’re not a member of such a group but you know somebody who is, feel free to spread the word.
This book includes step-by-step. illustrated instructions for five easy quilts and a comfy cozy flannel blankie, plus detailed instructions on the fusible-interfacing method for machine-appliquéing big, simple shapes.
Until next time,
Kay
My first response!
“I would love to have your book to use at our guild to hand out patterns for the members to make and bring back the next month. Then the members of the charity quilting can put them together for Linus quilts. We also do quilts for an abused women shelter. We rely on donations of fabric, batting and time, your book would be a great addition to this effort.

Twinkles coming your way! Thank you for the good work you do.

This from K.J.H. in Canada:
“I’ve also joined a local quilt guild and am making a charity quilt for an organization called Victoria’s Quilts. They make quilts for people undergoing cancer treatment — for adults and kids. Currently they’ve made 130 quilts this year and expect to make about 300 by year’s end. Quite an achievement, but unfortunately this means that there are that many people who need the quilts. It makes you count your lucky stars.
Keep up the good work, Kay!”
Thank you! Twinkles crossing the border! Kay
Kay, I’m the librarian of our guild. We also do many Linus quilts during the year. We’ve set aside the month of Jan just for doing such quilts. It’s sad to see so many in need, but just to know we can help one at a time is comfort for me. I too would love to have a copy for our guild to use if you still have a copy. If it weren’t for the efforts of our many pattern makers, the world of quilts would be boring.

Thank you, Mandy, for volunteering with your guild. A packet of Twinkles is headed to Iowa.
Admin note: There are still copies available, so let me hear from you.

I belong to an internet group called Wrap Them in Love, http://www.wraptheminlove.org. We make quilts for children in foreign orphanages. If you have any copies left, we are always interested in new patterns.

Twinkles headed to Kentucky! Enjoy them, and keep up the great work for kids in need.
