Welcome!
If this is your first time coming over here, welcome!
Please sign up to be a follower (over on the right hand side over there). We are working on getting email updates... but I know nothing about that, and haven't had a chance to research it yet, but we will!
Quilt Hope In is, essentially, a collaboration of quilters who, can accomplish far more together than separately. We will be making quilts and other handmade projects, listing them in a little etsy shop, and then giving the proceeds to Heartline Ministries. I chose this organization because of the incredible need they have, the life-changing work they are doing, and the honest reputation they have earned. They are also the organization that Heather, the author of the blog post that originally inspired me to do something, is associated with.
Lee does a great job of describing some of the background here.
Right now --

Right now --
- I am working on getting the funding links all sorted for the etsy shop. We might not always be with etsy, but for now it seems like the best place.
- I am gathering sponsors who will make a donation of fabric for our grand opening (and possibly beyond) to someone who promises to make a quilt for our little shop
- Trying to get all the other little logistical things organized so that there aren't any major glitches when we open up -- but we can just get wonderful items from you, and truly help some of the world's most needy
Some sponsors so far!
Something from Burgundy Buttons
And Moda is sending us a package!
So stay tuned... or get stitching.
And join in!

Grand opening coming soon!
I'm working to finalize the donation details, but if you have a quilt (or other item), then you can email me with the specs.
I hope to have the Grand Opening sometime around the 12 - 15th.
If you are a fabric shop that would like to sponsor a fabric bundle (that will go to someone who will make a quilt for our shop), please email me as well!
A HUGE Thank you to Lee for our blog design! :)
Stay tuned.
