We are working to wrap our heads around the devastation occurring in our home state of California. Our hearts go out to all those affected by these fires, as well as the brave first responders who put their lives on the line to give us hope. We are donating this stack of quilts to the @sewingarts community quilt effort, which will be given directly to those affected by the fires (both in Northern and Southern California). If you live in the area, please see their Instagram post to learn how you can participate. If you are not local to Southern California but still want to contribute, Robert Kaufman is running a quilt drive from now through the end of the year. If you send a finished quilt (baby/throw or larger) to:
Robert Kaufman, attn: Elisabeth Hardy, 129 W. 132nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90061 and include your name and address with the quilt, we will send you a thank you gift, and will make sure the quilts get into the hands of those who are affected by these fires. #quiltsforCA

You heard RIGHT! This Friday we’re doing a giveaway live on #itsSEWfriday, so make sure to tune in! We’ll be making the Dino City quilt featuring Prehistoric Pals by @lauriewis, and we’ll have tips for HSTs and simple fussy cutting! Don’t miss it - 2PM PST on our FB page!
