Quiltsy Cares: 3/17/19

Our featured quilter today is Judith Messenger, her Etsy shop is Fabri Arts, and her donation is to Meals on Wheels.

"Meals on Wheels (MOW) delivers nutritious, delicious and affordable meals to a variety of groups, including: seniors, people with physical disabilities and cognitive impairments, individuals suffering from illnesses and recovering from surgeries, and those who need special dietary planning and assistance.
One of the quilt guilds to which I belong collects placemats to donate to Meals on Wheels. They are delivered to MOW clients during the holiday season."
Judith loves giving to this charity because:  "It's wonderful to be able to give a bit of cheer to people who may be isolated during the holiday season."

"I belong to a number of quilting groups. Sometimes, "orphan" blocks will be donated to a group - blocks someone has made that don't fit with the project they are making, either by size or colour, or test blocks that are made to try out a project. I've taken many of the orphan blocks and made them into individual placemats.....the block size doesn't matter, as I add some borders around the block to make it rectangular. This year, I've created 18 placemats for Meals on Wheels."

Judith does her quilting in Toronto, Ontario Canada.  Thanks Judith for your good work, and for your wonderful donations!
