I joined in the Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge, being hosted by Sarah at Confessions of a fabric addict, for the first time this year. After reading about this wonderful cause I knew I wanted to be a part of it. There were three charities to donate to: Quilts of Compassion, Hurricane Sandy Survivors, and Happy Chemo.
I chose to donate a quilt to Happy Chemo. My family has been affected by Cancer, so I related to this charity on a personal level.
I decided to make a quilt from some bee blocks that I had received some time ago. The quilt is a simple design of HST's in pink, grey and black. I think it will be perfect for a little girl who is undergoing chemo.
I am so excited I got to be a part of this, this year and plan to join in next year. You can read more about Hands2Help here. Don't forget to give a shout out to all of the other participants. You can view their quilts over at Confessions of a Fabric addict.
