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!

Can I Get a Whoop Whoop? The Last Pictures For H2H 2023....

 

Hi, all!

Well, I only had one more batch of pictures to share, and not much progress on anything of my own to whoop about, so I thought I'd just combine the last H2H pictures with Whoop Whoop Friday!  

Additionally, two things to remember - you can still link up your own blogpost for H2H on last Sunday's blogpost through midnight on Friday night.  And please fill out this very short survey (if you haven't already) to help me be sure I know all the participants and total number of quilts!  It's only three questions, but it's a huge help to me!

And here we go with the last of this year's quilts!!!

First up, is Sherry B. with the two quilts she made for Little Lambs of Utah...

Beryl R. really went to town with her quilt making this year, and has sent these fifteen quilts to Quilts For Kids!!

Isn't that a great collection of cheerful, pretty quilts?  I know that these and all of the quilts donated as part of Hands2Help will be well-loved and bring much comfort to the recipients!!

So - - - can they get a whoop whoop?

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

And now it's your turn!

What's got you whooping it up this week?

What's making you do a little happy dance?

Share!  We want to dance right along with you,

And it's always more fun to dance with friends!

The party will stay open until Sunday midnight.

Hope to see you there!

Hugs!

Hi, all!

And the quilts keep rolling in!  I've got a bunch more beauties to share with you today, but just as a reminder, you can still link up your blogposts by clicking here and scrolling to the link party at the bottom of the post (open until Friday at midnight CST).  Also, if you haven't already, please fill out this quick 3-question survey that will help me track participants and the total number of quilts donated....

And now let's get on the the best part of the post - today's beautiful array of quilts!

This lovely bright sampler quilt was made by Sue S. and gifted to Quilts for Kids...

Marsha P. made this cheerful alphabet quilt for Little Lambs of Utah...

Lisa S. made the next three, two for Quilty Hugs and one for Little Lambs of Utah...

And last but not least, the next ten were made by Diane F. for Hills & Hollers, a local charity!

That's all for today - I'll be back tomorrow with one last batch of eye candy to inspire you for next year!!

Hugs!

Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge 2023 - Another Day, Another Batch of Quilts!

 

Hi, all!

Yes, it's another day full of beautiful quilts made for the Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge 2023!  But before I get to those, a reminder that you can still link up your own blogposts on last Sunday's blogpost - that link party will stay open until midnight on Friday.  And one more thing - please fill out this form (if you haven't already) to help me track the total number of participants and quilts in this year's Challenge!  It's only three questions, so it won't take but a second - but it's so much help to me!

And now, on to the quilts!  This first batch were made by Darlene S. and are being sent to Quilts of Valor...

Isn't that a lovely stack?  These nine quilts were made by Debbie S. for Project Linus!

The next ten were made by Debbie W. and donated to Haus of Peace...

Karen McC. made 12 quilts for Little Lambs, and one quilt for Covered in Love...

And last up tonight, Kathy D. made these seven for Little Lambs!

Aren't they all beautiful?  It constantly amazes me what a wonderful variety of quilts are donated!

Come back tomorrow for more beautiful quilts - and have a great day!

Hugs!
