We are a group of friends who gather monthly to quilt, to learn, to socialize, and to share tips and techniques for improving our quilting. We make quilts for ourselves and to donate to local charities such as the battered women's shelter. Sometimes we donate quilts to non-profit groups to use for their fundraising efforts.
In December 2010, we donated 14 quilts to Peace at Home, the NW Arkansas battered women's shelter. We made the quilts from fabric that had been given to the group. The fabric was cut and organized into color-coordinated "jelly rolls" containing approximately 40 strips. Each member of the group took one of the jelly rolls and made a quilt using a pattern of her choosing. In another post I hope to publish pictures of the donation quilts.
