When she is not stitching patterns on other people’s quilts, she loves to make scrap quilts.  People all over the world send her fabric scraps, already made quilt squares and other left over material.  She applies her God-given gift and creates beautiful quilts of all sizes, shapes and colors.  She does this for fun!

As you can imagine, her house is filled with the various quilts she has created.  You might be wondering what she does with them all. Some quilts are created by request purchased by those who value her talent, but most are made for charity.   

On my last visit, she told me she made 25 baby quilts in less than two months, all going to the cancer patients at Choc Hospital.  What a blessing for those going through the cancer treatments to have a soft, cuddly, creative quilt to snuggle with! 

This woman is known for making quilts at the slightly hint of a need.  If ever in conversation she hears of a newborn baby arriving, you can rest assured you’d have a baby quilt to you in seconds flat! In fact, here are two she made for a friend of mine, who recently celebrated twin grandson!

This woman is a woman of influence!

Economic conditions are tough right now.  Many people have lost their jobs or homes or both.  Many are struggling to feed their families. Women of influence help others in their time of need.  If you are blessed not to be in that position right now, would you consider helping others who are? 

Even the smallest amount can make a difference. Just think if everyone gave a few dollars.  A few here, a few there, it all adds up. 

The Salvation Army is there in time of need. They are a trusted partner in times of crisis.  This Christmas why not give generously to an organization that makes a difference.  Join me by ringing my red kettle.
