Quiltsy Team member, Gina Massop, has
donated these delightful crib quilt and puppy rag quilts to CADA
(Committee Against Domestic Abuse) House in Mankato MN.
This charity is special to Gina because of the many families
affected by domestic violence. Many of the victims of domestic
violence are blamed and shamed in to believing they are somehow
responsible for their abusers behavior. CADA offers safety, advocacy,
and empowerment to those affected by domestic violence and provides
education to victims and our communities to work towards changing
attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate violence.
Gina hopes that these quilts will give
the children affected by the instability and insecurity of a violent
home, a warm, snuggly, secure feeling ... and a quilt to call their
own.
Gina lives in Minnesota Lake, MN on a
country acreage with her husband Tom. They have four grown children living in several states. Gina has been quilting for twenty
years and has been a member of the Quiltsy Team for four of the five
years she has had a shop on Etsy. Her Etsy shop is called Gina Marie Crafts. She make bibs, burp cloths, table
runners, ornaments, and lip balm holders; but her favorite things to
make are quilts.
