Quilts For Kids

Quilts For Kids:

I was watching Sewing With Nancy last week and she featured this charity, Quilts For Kids. It is a charity that seeks volunteers to make and donate quilts to children with a serious illness or that suffer from abuse.   I think this is such a wonderful idea, and can't wait to get started on a quilt to donate.  I can't think of a better thing to do this holiday season then to donate a hand made quilt that will give comfort over and over again to a child in need.  I hope everyone will check out this website and think about donating a quilt.  They will even send you a free kit!  How can anyone say no to that!


Be sure to check out their gallery of pictures also.  They have been given some awesome quilts.  A few are shown below.

Lets all get started on a new quilt to donate to this wonderful charity!
Happy Sewing!

I love looking at all of your creations. With 2 little boys running through my house I do not find as much time as I would like to sew things.

I nominated you for a blog award.

Oh My Goodness, thank you Jess! I am honored to nominated!

I sure do understand about the little boys. I am the mother of 2 daughters and 3 sons and I remember well those days of endless running when they were young! You have my admiration! Mine have all grown up and now have families of their own, but I think of those days fondly now, not so much then! LOL

Thanks again for the nomination! Glo

Used to do so much quilting also. But here is a funny story....had workers in for main floor bathroom and when they left, one of them actually took my sewing basket...which was a huge plastic container holding all my sewing stuff including material....all I have is my sewing machine - good thing they didnt take that - and a small box of essentials like some thread, tape measure and cutter....

Happy New Year From Glo Sews!

Midnight is approaching and as I ready myself for a brand new year, I can't help but reflect on the year that is quickly coming to an end!  It has been a wonderful year here at Glo Sews.  I have learned so much over the past six months and made so many wonderful blogging friends!  Thanks to all of you that have made me so happy by your many comments and by reaching out to me in friendship!  I know that 2012 will be even better! I have several favorite posts this year, I guess one of my very favorite would be the very first one that started it all off.   Sewing Again  explained a lot about me and where I have been and where I hope to go!   Shirred Dresses  covered a technique I yearned to try years ago but could never find the time.  Oh, how much fun that was, it was a long time dream just to try it and I really fell in love with the technique and the dresses I made!   Fit For A Princess  was another fun project.  I made a...
