Quilting for a cause

3/6/2014

 
The NY chapter of the Moms Demand Action organization held it's first quilting bee over the weekend.   Although not a member of the group, I was asked to participate and I'm so glad I did.  

Moms Demand Action describes the project this way:

The “Mother’s Dream Quilt Project” will be a collection of quilts created from fabric submissions from around the country. Each quilt will contain at least one block composed of meaningful fabric from a victim or survivor of gun violence such as a piece of clothing or a beloved blanket. This “survivor block” will be surrounded by submissions from supporters expressing their collective sadness over too many lives ended by gunfire.

Since not everyone who participated this weekend knew how to use a sewing machine I helped out with the final step. Below are some examples of quilt blocks that I helped sew for other moms.  

If you are interested in submitting a block or learning more about this project click the link below:
