Hi, all!Here it is, Friday again!! And you know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on! Are you ready? I know I am - this is a special post for me, and one I am really most sincerely whooping about! Read on to find out why - let's get started!
*&*&*&*&*&*&*
Last Sunday was the second check-in date for this year's Hands2Help Challenge, and I have been receiving emails all week from non-bloggers who want to share their quilts or progress. It has been a humbling experience to see all these wonderful quilters sewing their little fingers off to make quilts to benefit others, and I can't wait to show you all of them. Be patient - I made collages of most of the submissions, as many had multiple quilts to share - and there's still a LOT of pictures to follow. At the end, I'll let you know just how many quilts are in this batch!

Here's a story to go with the next four quilts, which came from Connie W.:
"My four quilts to date have gone to Comfort Quilts. This group of quilters celebrated it's seventh anniversary earlier in the year. Quilts had primarily been for children and donated to the local Ronald McDonald House. Other quilts were donated to the local hospice and several area nursing homes. With the shutdown, RMD House stopped accepting quilts for the protection of its very vulnerable population. Our group leaders found a new outlet for the children's quilts, a hospital based pediatric office. Comfort Quilters gathered outdoors safely this week and submitted 142 quilts! The variety of quilts, fabrics, patterns and eye candy was wonderful and so inspiring. Here are pictures of the ones I submitted."
So - - - can I get a whoop whoop for all these fabulous (non-blogging but incredibly generous and creative) quilters?
*&*&*&*&*&*&

What a fabulous quilt show today, and so inspiring to see this outpouring of love for others.
ReplyDeleteIncredible! Thank you for sharing the quilts and some stories!!!
ReplyDeleteAll these quilts are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe non-bloggers definitely deserve a big whoop-whoop!
ReplyDeleteWhat Susan said! Whoop Whoop non-bloggers. I need to decide which quilt(s) go where and get them ready to mail. I just tend to make quilts and then decide where to send them. It is decision time!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun to see them altogether!!! Thank you so much, Sarah, for doing this and turning your brain to mush in the service of others. ;-) It is encouraging and just downright fun to see what we can do together! Huzzah!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super batch! I saved a bunch of them to my inspiration file. So much love and care put into these quilts :)
ReplyDeleteWow! So many people are going to be so blessed! Do you remember the song, "Thank you". I can only imagine the line of people who will be thanking you and the rest of the participants one day! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThat's incredible, Sarah. Way to go, non-blogging quilters!!! You sent SEW much comfort.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful number of quilts. I have mine all ready to donate. It is so nice how so many people make and donate quilts to H2H every year. My how the number increases every year, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah for sharing the bountiful production of the non-bloggers, myself included. Lots of inspiration for future projects in these photos.
