Giving Feels Good

 Giving makes you feel good.
It generates a sense of pleasure,
a "warm glow".

In other words,
it makes you just want to dance
and share your happiness with others.
 

I have a friend who is very involved
in an organization called
Their goal is to help and heal
children of sexual abuse.
 They like to wrap each child
in a love quilt. 
The sad part is that there is a 
need for 100's of quilt.

My friends, the Quilty Buddies,
challenged each other to make a quilt this summer 
to give to this hard working organization.

"Frozen"
45" x 56"

My grandkiddos love all the characters of 
"Frozen".

The pattern I used was a Disappearing Nine Patch.
You can find instructions anywhere online. 
I made sure the purple fabric was
always the middle square and
that the themed fabric was in the
lower left and upper right.

 So when the nine patch was cut
it gave some continuity
and made the characters
stand out.

I'm hoping some sweet child
finds comfort wrapped in this quilt.

And now for my anniversary giveaway.

  1. Great picture of a happy dance, Kyle! : )
    Some child is going to love that "Frozen" quilt. Sounds like a very worthwhile organization, but I find it sad that we even need such groups. How did society get this sick?
    Thanks for supporting them!

  4. What a beautiful quilt to gift to a child. It is heartbreaking to think that any child would be a victim of abuse ; some of what I read on the Internet news just stuns me...
    I am familiar with all of these ladies' blogs; all very nice ones! :)
