#opgivewarmth {august 2014}


After a month off track, we're back in business!  And I even whipped up a couple blocks with some gypsy wife leftovers just to show you that uncomplicated little blocks spread warmth just as well as the intricate ones :o)  


Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!  And if anyone's itching to get their hands on some liberty of their own, I know that Massdrop has two FQ bundle options ending in the next day or so, and I also just saw on IG that Queen Bee Fabrics (a U.S.-based etsy shop) is closing ;(  So grab her liberty—scrap bundles, yardage or FQswhile you still can!  (Plus shipping is free through August 4th, so there's that.)

For those of you who missed the announcement (or would like a refresher), this project is a monthly callout for charity blocks that will benefit My Very Own Blanket (specifically, children in the Indiana foster care system).  All styles and piecing methods are welcome.  I only ask two things:  (1)  that your block(s) fits a 3" grid system (i.e. finished sizes of 3", 6", 9", 12", 15", etc., so add a ½" to each of those to allow for seam allowance), and (2) that they mesh with that (or any prior) month's color palette.

  12. It’s inspiring to see how #opgivewarmth brings the quilting community together for a meaningful cause, creating cozy blocks for children in foster care. Projects like this remind us that even small, creative contributions can make a big difference. For students balancing studies and personal projects, finding extra time can be tough some choose to take my online biology class to manage coursework efficiently while still pursuing hobbies and charitable activities like this quilting initiative.

  13. It’s inspiring to see a creative project being used to bring warmth and comfort to children in foster care. Small efforts like sewing blocks for charity can have a big impact, and the monthly challenge keeps participants engaged while exploring new patterns and fabrics. Just as organization and attention to detail are important in crafting, having reliable tools for everyday tasks matters too, whether it’s keeping equipment secure with a battery lock for 2 battery setups or ensuring supplies are stored safely while focusing on meaningful projects.
