Orlando - and Donations
"I’m not familiar with all participants in this group, therefore, not familiar with who is part of the Modern Quilt Guild.
I want to make sure as many people as possible see this:
My local guild is committing to one complete quilt, and if enough blocks come in, 2.
Coordinated efforts between piecers, long-armers, and binders will be required.
And just so it’s all in one place, bright colored hearts representing a rainbow of colors with low volume background,"
Then... sent an email suggesting that since we just mailed off our Maple Leaf blocks for the Ft. McMurray (Canada) fire victims, that members may be interested in taking on a new group project.
Members responded positively!!
Word spread. Soon our sister group wanted in on the action, thus...
CCLQ Pulse Quilt:
NT Pulse Quilt:
The pair of quilts headed for Orlando:
Thank you to the various members of CCLQ and NT who were able to help in the making of these two beautiful quilts for this project!! Participants included Britt, Candy, Cheryl K., Deborah, Dee Dee, Ella, Helena, Jean, Joanna, Joy, Ruth B., and Ruth S.
These quilts were made after the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild asked for "a minimum of 102 quilts — one for each survivor, and one for the families of each victim who perished. Any quilts that surpass that number will be given to first responders, and then distributed to the LGBT community in Orlando via organizations like The Center and Zebra Coalition."
We are hoping that our contributions will bring comfort to someone touched by the senseless shooting in an Orlando night club on June 12, 2016. The attack killed 49 people and injured 53 others.
Until next time...
Quilt Generously!!!
