craft hope

The blankets, beanies, booties, and burp cloths arrived in India. It was a very long journey to a very good home. This is why Craft Hope exists and I am grateful for all of you.

The quilt deadline is this Sunday. I can just imagine all of the handmade quilts making their way from around the world to Canada and Michigan. A world coming together to spread a little bit of hope, to those who have lost the ability to see it.

Hi, howdy, and hello! The November 15th deadline for the quilts is quickly approaching. And I am amazed by what is coming in. They are beautiful, each one a work of art. What I like the most about a quilt is that you get a glimpse into your lives. Each fabric selected. The quilting style preferred. All of it just ties together beautifully. So far we have received 137 quilts!

Word is getting around about Craft Hope and huge thank you to those of you who have blogged about your participation and even put our button in your sidebar. This is one rockin’ community and I feel honored to be a part of it. There are some major things in the works for you and Craft Hope that we’ll let you in on shortly.

For those of you who have started groups, keep on doing your thing and taking it to the next level. To those of you who are crafting in the wee hours of the night or baby nap times, you amaze me.  To all of you, as long as you are willing we’ll keep the projects and charities coming to you. There definitely is enough need in this big world of ours. And we are making a difference.

It was brought to my attention by the very sweet Dana of Made that Craft Hope was featured right alongside her in the October issue of Sew Magazine, available in the United Kingdom. And let me just tell you that this is not the last you’ll see of the relationship between Dana and Craft Hope. Oh there is so much more to come my friends. I know, I’m such a tease but sworn to secrecy!
