Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Theme

One of our current quilt themes is the cute Sunbonnet Sue charts designed by Marti Harrington.    Marti has some beautiful designs at her Etsy Shop.  Please visit her shop to purchase her designs.  She has designed 66 Sunbonnet Sue charts.    

Our group members have signed up to stitch 20 of these beautiful charts to be made into two beautiful quilts.  

A Walker Bag Gift

Our group sewed a walker bag for Mary F., who is the secretary of a local bowling league in Pensacola.

Mary has had multiple knee surgeries (and problems) the last couple of years and has had to use a walker for most of that time.  She  bowled in more than one league and many National Tournaments, but hasn't been able to since her surgeries.

Mary was thrilled to receive this special gift from our group. (She said her sister would be so jealous when she saw her walker bag.)

This walker bag was a free pattern found on the internet.  It is fairly easy to make and the instructions are easy to follow.

Our group makes many gifts for seniors and children throughout the year.  If you have some extra time for cross stitching or sewing for charity, please join our group.

A Nautical Quilt

One of our current quilt themes is a Nautical Quilt.

There were so many patterns to choose from.  Most of our members have large stashes of charts and there are a lot of free charts on the web. 




Looks like we'll get enough squares to make two quilts, perhaps three. which will be donated to one of the senior living centers we support with our gifts.

What World of Charity Stitching is all about . . .

     

We have recently had a few inquiries asking what our group is all about.

Here is a little synopsis of what we do:  

We are a group of counted cross stitchers, quilters, and sewists from around the world that make lap quilts, therapy pillows, walker bags, tote bags, wheelchair bags, greeting cards and bookmarks to give to children in need and to the elderly in nursing homes.

     
If you enjoy cross stitching, quilting or sewing, please join us for the opportunity to use your talents to bring cheer and comfort to children and adults at a stressful time in their lives. Stitchers can choose either aida, evenweaves or linen of any count size or color for the lap quilt squares and other items. The lap quilts are themed quilts, such as dogs or cats, flowers, sealife, teddy bears, etc. There are members in the group who enjoy finishing the bookmarks, cards, pillows, or totes if you aren't able to do so.

You can join our group by going to the link below; take a look around and see if this would be a good stitching outlet for you.  Members can unsubscribe at any time they wish.  And they can re-apply at any time.

We have quilters who put the quilts together from the crossed stitched pieces made by members from all over the world.  We also have ladies who create beautiful bags, pillows and other items for our charities.
