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 <a href="http://heartlineministries.org/">Heartline Ministries</a>. I chose this organization because of the incredible need they have, the<a href="http://heartlineministries.org/womensprogram.aspx"> life-changing work</a> they are doing, and the honest reputation they have earned. They are also the organization that <a href="http://allthingshendrick.blogspot.com/">Heather</a>, the author of the <a href="http://allthingshendrick.blogspot.com/2010/10/reality-is-weighty-thing.html">blog post</a> that originally inspired me to do something, is associated with.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://freshlypieced.blogspot.com/">Lee </a>does a great job of describing some of the background <a href="http://freshlypieced.blogspot.com/2010/12/quilting-hope-into-their-lives.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Right now --<br />
<br />
<ul><li>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. </li>
<li>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</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul><div>Some sponsors so far!</div><div><a href="http://jewelsarmcandy.blogspot.com/">Jewel's Arm Candy</a> with a Hushabye FQ bundle<br />
