If you want a great little scrap buster, contact your local hospital to see if they'd appreciate some little basinnette quilts for your local neo natal (premature) baby unit... Not sure what you call it there. We call our's the NICU. Anyway they're only about 26" square and I know they'll be much loved by the families in the unit.There is nothing better than seeing little little babies wrapped in handmade goodness.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042439506901561443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829160008505596434.post-52089468093494018522009-12-30T13:01:37.980-05:002009-12-30T13:01:37.980-05:00Wow -- you accomplished so much since August.

The colors are fantastic! I see lots of Kaffe prints in there too. Yay!! Here is to wishing you meet all your quilting goals in 2010. As far as a charity idea, I put out a call for pillowcases for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Sept. I know it is not quilting but, they need tons of pillowcases. I even have a free pattern on my sidebar, if you are interested.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515452957964923679noreply@blogger.com
