I'm finally getting back to my real life after Australia, New Zealand, and then a 4-day conference in another town here in Minnesota. Whew!
It's time to post pictures of the quilts I'm sending to Hands2Help for their annual challenge. Thank goodness I was busy sewing before May, because I haven't had any time to sew since late April. And these quilts are the result of many hands, not just mine. I couldn't have done these without help from my local guild. Thanks to all of them!!
This one is going to Layers of Hope: Quilting 911 which gives quilts to 911 Dispatchers who experience vicarious trauma during tragedies such as Hurricane Katrina, natural disasters, and traumatic emergencies.
The next charity, Happy Chemo, is getting two quilts. These go to people undergoing cancer treatments.
The last one is going to a charity in Canada, Because You Matter. Quilts are given to any person who is having a hard time. Most of them go to children in foster care. Of all these quilts, this is the one that I worked on the most, and I love the colors; I also have a tender heart toward kids in foster care, so I'm glad this one is going to that cause.
I hope ALL these quilts will provide some comforting cuddles to whoever receives them. Thanks, Sarah, for organizing this fun annual quilt drive.
P.S. Almost forgot... go HERE to see all the gorgeous quilts others are donating to the H2H Challenge.

What darling quilts. I really like the first.
Very pretty quilts. I really like the pattern of the 911 quilt. It looks like it sparkles. I will have to see if I can find the pattern. All these quilts will be loved and treasured.
Marvelous quilts that will certainly be appreciated by their eventual recipients. Well done to all who helped create them.
Just stopping by to see if you are over your jet lag. Looks like you are!
Your quilts are all lovely and will definitely keep somebody warm....I really love the borders on the Happy Chemo quilts.
