This week I finished a very important quilt. It will be a gift to a young mother who feels like the world is closing in around her. It will give HOPE and comfort to a woman who needs it.
In January, Margaret's Hope Chest starting bringing quilts to the Mother and Baby program at Pine Rest (in Grand Rapids, Michigan). This program serves woman who are experiencing postpartum depression. Over the past 9 months we have dropped off 94 quilts!! We never dreamed that there would be such a need. Each of the quilts has accompanied a struggling mother throughout her time in the program and then it traveled home with her.
I will be honest that we have stuggled to keep up with this need. We do not have a steady influx of quilts approriate for women. My mom has worked very hard to finish off donated tops and create new quilts to make sure that she always has something to bring when they call. I spent my limited time this summer finishing off donated tops.
We would love to continue this program but we need organized help from our friends!
Personally, I have committed to making one quilt a month for 'A Mother's Hope'.
Here is my quilt for September.
I used a charm pack and a couple of coordinating solids to create this.
From start to finish I think it took me 5 days to complete. Not too bad.
Could you commit to making one quilt for 'A Mother's Hope'? Below I have listed the next six months and 8 spots for each month. I would LOVE to fill up these 48 spots with quilters willing to take a week to fill a person's life with HOPE and comfort. Quilts can be of any size, shape, or color scheme. If you can help, please leave a comment with the month(s) you can help with and then E-MAIL me so I can send you all of the information you will need.

January for me!
I could get you a quilt towards the end of October.
Put me down for November. I've started a quilt, and if I don't get to it sooner, I'll finish it at my Nov. retreat.
I will plan for December:) I will let you know if I can add another. what a great idea this is as I know it would have meant so much to me when I went through the dark days of post-partum depression. God bless you in this ministry, Carin!
November and January should work for me. Please include size in the email (I recall it was lap size, but want to be sure)
I'd like to sign up for February!! What an awesome thing you are doing!
Jenn
I will do one each month.
If a baby quilt size will work, please sign me up for October.
I want to help out, please send me the address to ship to. I will send as many as I can, but can't commit to a certain number per month. I will box up what I can and get them in the mail as soon as I get back from dropping my daughter off at college next week.
Carin, I am having trouble getting the email link to work. Here is my e-mail address: lea(underscore)elina(at)yahoo(dot)com
I can do November.
Put me down for for January and March
I have a quilt top made that I can finish up pretty quickly. I can mail it out soon, by the 1st week of October I'm sure.
Put down for one in February. Thanks
Teresa
Sign me up for December. I have a quilt that will be done by then.
Please count me in for the end of January.
I'd like to sign up for December. Thanks.
Would a fabric donation help out? I work at a fabric wholesaler and would love to send some scraps!
email is lnelson@r-and-z.com
I can send a quilt now! I finished one back in March with the intent to send it to you, but life happened and I never did. Can you let me know where to send it?
