I just made two of your little FQ bags from some OLD (but goodies) FQ's and I love them. I have one 3 1/2 yr. old GD and I promised bags for small toys but haven't found a quick, fun, easy one till now! Many more to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I think Japan would be good or Joplin, Missouri, USA was just hit Sunday, May 22 by a devasting tornado. Most of a mainly blue collar town of 50,000 was destroyed. The Red Cross would certainly give it to someone (or Salvation Army).Darlene in Minnesota USAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386128260762249969.post-48636182737672348492011-05-09T23:40:36.834+01:002011-05-09T23:40:36.834+01:00Thanks for the great tutorial.

These people are so deserving. Many are put their by their families, who no longer want to bother with them or they just don't have any family at all, and I'm sure they would enjoy a gift of comfort, something that they can call theirs. I'd look locally for a nursing home or adult care center.

'Disappearing 9 patches' is so good pattern! I have the same white fleece waiting but it was too small to my blue top so I need to do other top for that. About new home ... first I was thinking The Olympics where many are doing quilts. But perhaps even better would be a child or what about the children hospital.<br />What ever you decided, you'll make someone very happy!<br />xxx Teje<br />Ps.

Midsomer Quilting for the first one and I can help with contact details for the other three if you need help..... It is hard when you have lots of quilts and ideas without knowing the exact destination of them, isn't it? Mind you, I quite often leave a small quilt in the back of the cupboard so that I've got something to hand if I want a quick, but still special, present.Plum Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00256310916540057337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386128260762249969.post-64385123259949025992011-05-08T08:20:29.812+01:002011-05-08T08:20:29.812+01:00Is there not a nursing or residential home near yo...Is there not a nursing or residential home near you?
