Have you every heard of Beads of Courage? I hadn't until a couple weeks ago. It is a program that provides Art-in-Medicine for Children with serious illness. The beads signify strength and courage. Beads of Courage needs quilters to make bags for the beads. You can request from them labels to sew on yours bags. These are the bags I have made. Some are not completely finished.
They have been quick and easy to make. Why don't you check out the Beads of Courage website and maybe you will want to donate bags of courage.
I have been working on my Quilting To Do List. One item on that list is to make 6 jelly roll quilts as Christmas gifts. Here is #1 - jelly roll quilt using Kathy Schmitz Full Circle. I still want to add borders.
Hope you are have a sewing day.

Karen, I am so happy to hear about the Beads of Courage. I am unable to participate until Fall...got a wedding(daughter) in 6 weeks and then a trip to Africa that I am making baby quilts to give....but I love the idea of the beads and want to make some bags : ) Thank you for the information!
