Children's Quilts Update - 7/7/13
This week in Children's Quilts
This big quilt was designed using a collection of fabrics from a quilter's personal stash. The amusing contemporary design and bright colors will make a cozy spot in the first apartment of an older teen who has just timed out of foster care.

Children's Quilts Update - 6/18/13
This week in Children's Quilts
EBHQ's Children's Quilts come into being many different ways. Because we now collect and give away almost 1200 quilts a year we can no longer remember the stories of each one. The blocks in the quilt below may have been cut from a salesman's donated samples and the sashes and binding cut from the personal stash of the volunteer making up the kit. Another volunteer would have taken the kit home and stitched it up before returning it. Then another volunteer would have quilted it. Finally, another volunteer stitched on the binding before giving it to another volunteer to hand sew down the binding.
Or, one happy volunteer may have done all those jobs. Love those bright colors!
Children's Quilts
Deanna Davis, EBHQ President and our Children's Quilts Coordinator has been busy putting together sets of donated tops, batting, backing and binding and will bringing them to all June gatherings. Please "Adopt-A-Top" and take home a set or two to finish into a quilt over the summer. The children will be so grateful for the warmth and love of your quilt and Deanna's husband Bob will be so grateful to get his car back into their garage again!
