You may be wondering what those two things have in common. Allow me to share. For a recent swap I made a cute drawstring bag following this excellent tutorial at 7 Layer Studio. I especially like the way Shelley used ribbon to create the casing for the drawstrings. The fun fabrics I used are from a favorite fabric company of mine, Marie-Madeline Studio. Now this is where the quilts come in…
The Long family, of Marie-Madeline Studio, is hosting a large quilting project to benefit Joplin and the families devastated by the recent tornado. They are asking for fabric scraps, quilters willing to do the quilting, and donations to assist in the project. I love the idea of this as a handmade quilt has so much to add to a home in warmth and personality. Please consider assisting this lovely family in any way possible. For more information regarding this effort refer to their blog, Marie-Madeline Studio Blog.
