project 5 :: margaret’s hope chest
Greetings friends! I’m really happy to announce that I had baby Chloe two weeks ago today. I’m a little sleep deprived, but we are all healthy, happy, and home. In other Craft Hope news, I’ve got a couple of pictures to post of the children in India and will get them up here on this site very soon. Also, the sock monkeys have been delivered and I’m working on getting pictures for you as soon as possible.

Today’s the big day! I am proud to announce that we are starting Project 5 today which will benefit homeless children. This time around we have partnered with Margaret’s Hope Chest to provide QUILTS to these children.
The deadline for this project is November 15th.
Margaret’s Hope Chest was born out of tragedy. Margaret Herrema was a spunky 81-year-old wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and volunteer quilter who was murdered in the parking lot of a grocery store in April of 2005. What prepared her family to walk the long and painful road of violent crime? Nothing. What guided them through the days and months of grieving and confusion? HOPE. Hope that there were people who cared. Hope that good would triumph of evil. Hope that her death was not an end but a beginning.
Margaret’s Hope Chest is a quilting non-profit organization that serves other people in seemingly hopeless situations. We strive to share with people around the world the HOPE that we have been given.
Over the past two years they have given over 100 quilts to children, adults, families, and organizations. Each quilt has joined a journey- a journey of sickness, death, abuse, fire, disease, disability, or new beginning.
This summer we stepped out in faith when we agreed to provide a quilt for each child in the Grand Rapids (Michigan) Public School system who is homeless during the Christmas season. The exact number will not be clear until November but considering the economic climate in Michigan it will more than likely be high (200+). Consider the journey of a homeless child. No house to walk into at the end of a long day, no couch to cuddle on and read books with mom or dad. No kitchen to walk into and help themselves to a snack. No bedroom to sleep in- nothing to give that child the security that a home brings.
**Quilt pattern compliments of Kathy Mack.
What might a handmade quilt mean to a homeless child? It might bring warmth to a 5-year-old boy in a drafty room. It might give hope to a 12-year-boy who never had a handmade gift before. It might give comfort to an 8-year-old girl who wants something pretty to snuggle under.
This project is easy. We are calling this quilt pattern HOPE SQUARED. Make a quilt out of squares. Any size, any number, any color. Use up some scraps. Dig out your kid-themed fabrics and pair them with some bright solids. Please consider that all ages of children will be receiving these quilts-boys and girls. Base the size of your quilt on the size of the child you have in your mind as you create it. **If you are new to quilting and don’t know how to finish and bind a quilt or if you have limited time, you can construct the top of the quilt (the squares) and send that to them and they will gladly finish the rest for you.
The word excitement doesn’t even come close to describing how they feel about being this month’s project. I am hopeful that many of you read this and feel led to join Margaret’s Hope Chest as we bring hope to children, one quilt at a time.
*****
There are now two quilt patterns in the sidebar that you can use for this project if you’d like. The Take Along Quilt was designed by Malka Dubrawsky and the Eye Spy Quilt was designed by Kathy Mack. Both of these wonderful women graciously donated the patterns for the Craft Hope book to donate to charity. Please feel free to use these patterns, but do not sell them. Also, we’d love your feedback on the patterns as we are in the process of writing the book.
We have two locations to mail the quilts, one in Canada and one in the United States. Please leave a comment on this post if you’d like to participate and I will send you the mailing address.

Oh this one lands close to my heart. I am a native Michigander and have worked with homeless children through a school district in another state. My cousin teaches in a low-income school in Grand Rapids. For so many reasons this one has my name all over it. I would love to do at least one quilt. Thanks so much!

I was nervous you were going to say dolls or sock puppets or something massively creative that I would fall dismally behind in. But quilts!
Psh, I can do quilts. It will help me have an excuse to practice some new ideas I have had.

I really wanted to participate in the last one, and I wasn’t able to get it done. So to be sure that I actually can get this one completed I will say that I can do a quilt top. That is no problem, getting it quilted is what seems to take a million years for me! Please send me the link to the address that I need to send it to and I will gladly put at least one together. What a wonderful gift to be a part of this project, I feel blessed to be able to participate!

Thank you for supporting this project. Margaret was my grandmother too. My sister has lamented often about trying to find others to help sew the quilts and your offer to support this project is what she has been praying for. I’m working on finishing a quilt that has been a WIP for a LONG time and have fabric and plans to make a teenage boy quilt. Thanks again for joining people across blogland to help others.

jade,
i found your site through malka. i’ve been working on a blog project called ‘project improv’ since january. part of the project asked quilters to donate an improvised block…i have been making them into lap sized quilts since. we will have over 20 quilts finished soon. the original idea was to donate the quilts and i started the project without a donor in mind. i think this project is just the ticket for these quilts. you can see them on the sidebar of my blog if you’d like to take a look to see if they would be a good fit.

I will at least try to take care of the squares. I have a lot on my plate right now but I have been crafting for Craft Hope since project 3 and I really wanna try to keep it up. So, just to make sure I have this right: I can do just the top layer and someone else will provide the batting and the back, correct? If I can swing it, I will finish it myself but thank you so much for giving us the option. It’s a blessing to know that I can contribute in some small way:)

I’m in! I’d be happy to mail to the U.S. location. I will be wading for the first time into quilting, but have been planning to for some time. I am hoping to send a completed project instead of just a top. Wish me luck!
Adrienne responded on 16 Oct 2009 at 6:01 am #
Would a quilt be acceptable without the cotton batting? In other words – could it be made with the following layers and no binding (Bend The Rules Sewing scalloped baby quilt style if you are familiar with that pattern): cotton/flannel/flannel? That way it would stillb e warm but you wouldn’t need to use binding.
I would love to participate but I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish a binding in time but could certainly make one w/o binding. Thanks!
Jade responded on 16 Oct 2009 at 7:44 am #

Hello,
Living in England, the Royal Mail is starting a strike that may go on and on so my quilt may end up in a pile of post on the wrong side of the Atlantic, the charity looking for quilts for the homeless children, do they only want home made blankets? I think the only way I can get a blanket there on time is to buy one on line from a US company and sent it. Would this be welcome or shall I go ahead and make my quilt and then send it knowing it will probably get there long after the deadline?

I just finished crocheting an afghan – “Afghans for Afghans” – and my plate is still full . . . so hand me a platter!
I told three quilter friends about this project, and one of them has already made two quilts. (She is also planning to ask her guild if they would be willing to send a donation quilt.) With her help, I’ll be making the top of my first quilt, one appropriate for an older boy. Please send the U.S. address, and let me know whether or not to send batting.

After looking at the pattern, I think I would not make the carrying strap the way they show it. It may look cute but there are three concerns that I have with it. One is if it is for a child, they could get the strap caught around their necks, the second concern is it would put a real strain on the place where the button is attached that would cause it to tear through the quilt and you really don’t want to use buttons with small children that could come loose with wear and be swallowed.
If you want a strap of some kind, I would suggest making two short straps attached at the end of the quilt overlapping using velcro.

I made a quilt for a boy out of denim. Just let me know where to mail it in the US. Friends told me about this. I think it’s fantastic. Great work and thank you for letting me help out.

I have a quilt all nice and ready! I made the quilt topper a few years ago – so I fall in the category of not knowing how to bind it. i will send the quilt, backing and batting – and I know someone will make it look beautiful. So, please send me the info and i will have it in the mail soon.

Hi there! I am wanting to involve a small group of girls (6 to be exact- ranging from ages 5-11) on one of these projects. However, I am certain that we cannot do this quilt one- because I just discovered it and our next meeting time is Monday the 16th. I wanted to ask if you have in mind the next project and if you do, I was wondering when it would be posted. Or perhaps you could emial me and tell me what it is- I just want to get them started on something this coming Monday- but not sure if it will work for you. Please let me know! I just LOVE the blog and the idea behind the blog!!!!
