have any of you heard of all of the major flooding happening in ireland? apparently this type of flooding happens in ireland once every 800 years. it has been reported that as of november 21st 18,000 households were left without water in Cork, Ireland's second city - and forecasters warned of more heavy rain to come.
because of this recent devastation and the amazing number of people in need, irish quilting magazine is collecting donations of 13 1/2" disappearing nine blocks, quilts, and group charity quilts. the blocks will be made into quilts by irish quilting magazine and all finished quilts will be donated to those in need.
if you do not quilt or simply lack the time, the magazine is also accepting donations of batting and backing for use in the quilts they will be putting together.
please see irish quilting's flood quilts and blocks page for patterns and information of where to send your donations.
i am going to try and make a few blocks in the next few days. i miss helping those in need. i have been so busy this past year that i have not had the time to stop and notice others...it is about time that i change that!
