Quiltsy Cares 3/16/19

Today's featured quilter is Ilse of I Sew Totes.  Her charity is helping children to help other children!  Here is her story:

I'm donating a lap quilt to a local organization called "Small Things Matter." This is what they say about themselves:
"Our mission is to empower children of all ages with the belief that they can make a difference in our world by being kind and compassionate to others. We encourage them to do so by harnessing their talents to make a handcrafted item for children in hospitals and donating/hosting book drives for underserved children."

My donation is a patchwork quilt using a collection of cat and paw prints in clusters of 4 and framed by a light blue print on the front, framed by an off-white band with beige paw prints.

The back is a colorful flannel with cats tumbling all over. There is also one little square on the front that has a tiny mouse - so it could be labeled as "I Spy a Mouse Quilt" - or something like that. Size 47" sq.

The quilt will be at a silent auction for this group in April.

Quiltlsy Cares March 16-Ilse Daehler

Today's Quiltsy Cares donation comes form Ilse Daehler of ISewTotes. Ilse lives in Silver Spring MD and her donation was for House of Ruth Maryland. House of Ruth provides a safe haven for victims of domestic violence and there children. Their goal is to help women and their children not only by providing shelter, but also helping them to rebuild their lives.

The House of Ruth has a group (B-More Bags) that regularly meets and makes bags to sell. The proceeds support the House of Ruth Maryland. Unfortunately it is too far for Ilse to participate in the meetings so she donated the two bag shown below.
