I am happy to report that I have found a good cause for my test stitch outs. I was in Lincraft the other day looking at fat quarters and I met a lady who lives on one of the nearby islands. She and her friends quilt for the healing hearts foundation. My husband goes to this island every Wednesday to run the mental health clinic. The receptionist at the doctors clinic that he goes to is a friend of the lady who quilts. So my husband took the first batch over on Wednesday and left them with receptionist. I got a phone message from the quilting lady yesterday thanking me and said she would send me some photos of what they make with my test stitch outs.

Thats fantastic! And they are going to a good cause. Now they have a little something extra to add to their quilts to make them special!

What a wonderful way to donate to a good cause!

It always amazes me that all us sewing enthusiasts give so freely of our time. Congratulations Alice I'm so happy that your stitch outs will go to a good cause. Love and blessings Chris

That is wonderful Alice!!! Hugs n love, Meganne

Wonderful, just think of the joy you are bringing to someone, S*

Doesn't it feel good to be part of something bigger than yourself? I can imagine that this would be a very exciting process for you, since now you can see your designs through someone elses eyes. :)

Isn't it wonderful? and what a small world....
