Project: Baby Quilts

      I have decided to start making baby/kids quilts to take with us and donate to the orphanage when we go. This is quite an under taking as I don't sew. Well actually I didn't know how to sew until a couple of days ago, Tuesday to be exact. I had my first sewing lesson by my mother in law and have now finished 2 rag-time baby quilts. I must say that my first quilt is actually much better than my second quilt. I guess with the second one I thought I "Knew" what I was doing and got a little rushed. It really is a good thing that T. knows how to thread and operate a sewing machine when I mess it up. LOL
  
  Jumping Jack has finished her first blanket too. Hers are soft fleece ones where you cut and tie the edges. she picked out the materials by herself and is excited to be able to give them to other kids.

     If this is a project that you feel drawn to and would like to participate that would be a great blessing. The blankets could be crochet, knit, sewn, it doesn't matter. They can be any size, baby or kids, girls or boys. They just need to be made with love. oh and not to heavy as it is warmer in South Africa than here! Please don't feel that this is something that you have to do, as we will be collecting other things to take later on. This is just one thing that I am doing while I'm waiting. (Not that I don't have enough to do but... hey it's different.)
