As For Me And My House Raffle Quilt


Been so busy, haven't had anytime to work on quilts except this project...

I have a friend who ministers to women and children in Afghanistan. After talking on evening about the plight of orphans there in winter I was led to try to raise some funds to purchase shoes, clothes and blankets for these little ones.

Have only done this 2 other times for schools, so here's hoping an praying that people are prompted to buy tickets. Still gotta quilt it...

Thanks Tonya for your tuts and encouragement!

    Thanx everyone. I am sort of thinking about doing a series of these quilts. Perhaps some wonky cups with the verse "my cup runeth over". I still need more work on the sizing of my letters, but trying to remember that this is free-form and joyous.

    So...how about doing a paypal account so that you can get folks all over to contribute to the fund? Is that possible or do you have something set up already? Wonderful project...grand quilt and the statement from Scripture that is so often a prayer.

    I love your wonky houses. I am crazy about the way you did the roofs and the colors are fabulous. I have done one house quilt but I always seem to be working on random house blocks.
