My name is Ila and I recently learned about a wonderful organization Quilts For Kids that distributes quilts made and donated by quilters throughout the United States to sick children in hospitals or that are experiencing trauma in their life.
I thought this would be a great way to share my love of quilting and to help children at the same time. The non profit organization is headquartered in PA. but there are numerous sister chapters throughout the US that donates quilts on a local level as well. I checked but there were no chapters in the Lincoln area, nor was there any even in the whole eastern part of our state.
When I sent away for a kit from headquarters, I inquired about starting a chapter here in Lincoln. I was to complete a pre cut quilt kit that they would send me, along with making another one like it from my own stash. Then they would check the finished quilts to see if my construction of the quilts I sent met the high standards that the organization expected from chapter leaders.
So, I am off to a wonderful new adventure in my life, and hope to soon be making a difference in a lot of other lives as well!
Here's the progress so far today! ! I was able to do three rows, and cut and sewed the four patches for the next three rows!
