Home | a quilt for a family

In 2015 I joined an online quilting bee through the Modern Quilt Guild. I was part of a team from the mid-Atlantic coast, and we worked on a quilt for a Providence family whose home was built by Habitat for Humanity. The palette was chosen by the national guild and the team chose a design to focus on. Each quilter designed and sewed a row of the quilt, and the only requirement we decided on was that each row should include a word that symbolized the family's new home. The word I chose was "hope." Melissa and her six year old son Daniel were overwhelmed by the support and generosity of everyone who contributed to the building of their home. The quilt was so well received - there were 30-40 people at the dedication and most of them sought me out to comment on the quilt. I hope to donate more quilts through Habitat for Humanity and encourage you all to seek out your local chapters if you're ever looking for a charity to donate to. Here are a couple pictures from the night the home was dedicated (no, I don't feel like rotating them, sorry, haha) 💛
