Funds raised from QuiltAid USA 2010 will be donated to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia through the Hamlin Fistula Relief and Aid Fund Australia and The Fistula Foundation USA.
I became aware of Quilt Aid last year, when it was all Australian designers . . . & I loved the idea, so I was so very happy when Helen Stubbings (Hugs 'n Kisses) of Pattern Press, in Australia contacted me last spring about participating in the first Quilt Aid USA.
The theme for all of the blocks is,
The best part is that each time you purchase a block / kit, you are supporting such a great foundation - doing such wonderful work. . . Such a win - win prospect!
Special thanks to Moda fabrics, & Presencia Threads for their participation. . . & of course to Pattern Press for overseeing it all!
The designers participating in Quilt Aid USA are:
Helen Stubbings, Lynette Anderson, Sue Daley, Natalie Lymer of Cinderberry Stitches, Bronwyn Hayes of Red Brolly and Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched of Australia and Anne Sutton of Bunnyhill, Brenda Riddle of Acorn Quilt & Gift Company, Robyn Pandolph, Terri Degenkolb of Whimsicals, Kathy Schmitz and Barri-Sue Gaudet of Bareroots of the USA.
You can click on the link about for Quilt Aid USA to see all the great blocks & setting designs available
Thanks to Helen & to all participating in Quilt Aid USA. I love that quilting & our love for quilting can once again benefit so many, in so many ways!
. . . don't 'cha just love quilting & stitching?!?!
