Quilt

June 19-21 is the National Goal Ball Tournament.

I wanted to do something to help. I am so greatfull for all of the help Herschel has been given. They have really opened the world to him and changed his life.

I asked them if I could do a couple of quilts to help earn money. It isn't much. I feel like I should do so much more. This is the first one that I did.

They are having a silent auction for this hoping that they can raise alot of money. Don't know how it will do.

They were getting stuff for raffles. I thought this would go there, but they decided on the auction. I think that they think it can bring more money that way.

I did another quilt that was all batiks. I love it. I did one for me as well. The 3rd one is a texture quilt. Blind people see with there hands, so I tried to do alot of texture fabrics as well as embelishments. There is embroidery, ribbon, buttons, tufting, ruffling etc. I hope it is okay as I haven't really done textures for blind people.

I am planning to continue these tactile quilts as there is a real need to help children learn and stimulate their tactile senses. I am hoping to donate the remaining ones. Hopefully through UFB I will be able to find those who most need them.
