Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge 2023 Is In The Books!

 

Hi, all!

We've finally arrived at the end of this year's Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge, and you all did such an excellent job!  At my final count, we had 106 active participants (those who made it all the way to the end of the Challenge), and you all created an amazing number of quilts!  Do you want to know how many?

Isn't that amazing???  Just think of all that love and comfort spread across the world!  I had a sticker on my computer case at one time that said, "Changing The World One Quilt At A Time".  That's what you all are doing each time you donate a quilt to someone.  It feels good, doesn't it?

I have a few more quilt pictures to show you, but before I get to them let's do some housekeeping!  I have a few giveaway winners to announce:

For Emily Bailey's guest post giveaway, which went awry - Connie T. is the winner of a copy of Emily's book!

Karen M. has offered up three prize bundles, which are going to Sheryl K., Rebecca B., and Nancy C.

I had offered up two panels in a previous post, and the two winners are Kathryn L. and Jane S.

And finally, I have eleven more prize bundles, which will be going to: Jamie E., Ann S., Cindy M., Melissa B., Liz H., Ruth C., Diane F., Kathy D., Kathy W., Charmaine T., and Carolyn Br.

Congratulations to all the winners!  Please be patient with us as we get these packages in the mail - I can't testify to Emily and Karen's schedules, but I am out of town until Thursday of this week, so I will be getting these in the mail after that.  

And now for those pictures I promised...

Carol O. made these three beauties - the first one is going to Quilty Hugs, and the other two are being sent to MCC.

And the last of this year's quilts were made by Sandy T., and are all being sent to a group called Wrap The World With Quilts.  Isn't that a great name (and goal)?

And that's a wrap!  Thank you to each and every one of you who participated this year, and to those of you who wanted to, but had life happen and weren't able to.  Remember all the inspiration you've seen and keep making quilts - you are changing the world one quilt at a time, remember?

Hugs!
