Dolly Donation

Yet another great blog dedicated to using their God given talents for the greater good. Sarah at Dolly Donations Mission: "My mission is to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate, especially orphaned children around the world ....... to provide them with a source of comfort ...... to send them love, one dolly at a time!" Her current doll drive is for, Free the Kids in Haiti: Project Hope, to provide their orphanage with 132 dolls. Their dead line is Novemeber 1, 2010. Although, I have never made a doll I'm going to attempt to before that date. If you want to help check out her blog. She also has alternatives to contributing if you "want to help but can't sew." Check out her blog, I also grabbed her button which is at the bottom of this page for future reference. When I'm done with my doll I'll send pics, promise not to laugh :D. ❀Chyna

Give A Kid A Quilt

http://giveakidaquilt.blogspot.com/

I stumbled upon this really awesome blog about sending in quilts to children who are going to need them this winter. Please check it out, link to the blog is☝and below ☟ is the info off their site:

WHY

The Pacific Northwest has some of the highest unemployment rates and child poverty rates in the nation. Winter is when many seasonal workers get laid off. Making the local economy in the Portland metro area worse than the nation as a whole. Because of our weather, these months of highest unemployment are also our coldest months. Compounded by the economic recession, food banks, clinics and other child welfare services have seen a dramatic upswing of children in need.

WHAT TO SEND

Any finished quilt 24" square or larger up to twin. Unbound is okay, I can machine bind.


I just can't take anymore tops right now maybe after June 2010.

WHERE TO SEND:

After March 1st 2010
