Quiltsy Cares March 12-Pat Young

Today's Quiltsy Cares donation is from Pat Young from PatsPassionQuilteds. Pat's charity donation is for the  Thomas Fire Victims. She made 12 Perkimon Valley blocks that will go to the Perkimon Valley Quilt Guild who will take all of the donated blocks and sew them into quilt tops. These quilt tops are then made into quilts to be given to people lost their homes and belongings to the California Fire and subsequent mudslides. Pat made 6 blocks in greens and 6 blocks in blues:

The Thomas Fire/Mudslide Relief was an effort by superbuzzy after an outpouring of concern and well wishes from friends around the world regarding the devastating Thomas Fire and subsequent mudslides. As of 1/12/18, more than 1,100 had been destroyed of which an estimated 775 were single family homes. Superbuzzy started the "From the Ashes Thomas Fire Quilt Relief " and started accepting donations for these victims.

Quiltsy Cares March 5-Pat Groeller of PattiesPieces

Our Quiltsy Cares team member today is Pat Groeller from PattiesPieces. Pat is from Lakeland, Fla She also stepped for the Thomas Fire victims. Pat said she wanted to donate to the fire victims of California. She felt that to lose everything in a natural disaster is a very traumatic and life changing event. She was able to help by creating two bright, colorful pillowcases that might bring at least a little cheer to a child, teen or even an adult. She said she is glad to be a small part in helping out with this charity.

This past January Quiltsy Team learned of a request for donations for the fire and mudslide victims in California. They were looking for people to make quilt blocks, quilt tops, pillowcases, or to send backing fabric, charm squares (5"squares of fabric from on fabric line collection), batting, etc. Well once we learned of this request, in typical Quiltsy fashion, we stepped up to the challenge. Team members signed up to make blocks and pillowcases, or to send backing fabric and charm squares to help with this relief effort. In the middle of February, our team sent a total of 60 Perkimon Valley blocks in blue and green colorways to go to the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild (that they will sew into quilts),along with 30 pillow cases, 4 charm packs and 5 quilt backings to help with this cause.

  

March 1st kicks off our annual March Quiltsy Cares where you will learn not only about the individuals who participated in the relief efforts, but you will also learn of other amazing team members who made and donated quilts to causes that were important to them. This year we have the entire month of March filled with donations by our team members, which is so heart warming So be sure to come back each day to read about another gift from the heart.
