I started working with charities in 2001.
I work with several groups:
Operation Teddy Bear -- raffles quilts to raise money for cancer research
http://www.operation-teddy-bear.on.ca
Love Quilts to Make a Child Smile
-- quilts actually go to the child, a child who has been diagnosed with a terminal/potentially terminal illness/disease
http://lovequilts2macs.homestead.com/LoveQuiltsText.html
Montana Binky Patrol -- quilts and afghans are made for abused children, children in homeless shelters and premie infants

Angel Afghan Project -- provides angel themed afghans to families with premie babies

My 1st square was made for Operation Teddy Bear
It is a "Cherished Teddy", Nora from Norway
My 2nd square was made for Andrew's Memorial Quilt (Love Quilts to Make a Child Smile),
Andrew passed away before it was finished, the quilt goes to the family in his memory. Andrew's theme was Teddy Bears or Animals wearing overalls, and they asked to add a heart and a cross to the pattern
It is a "Cherished Teddy", The Fireman
My 3rd square was also made for Andrew's Memorial Quilt (Love Quilts to Make a Child Smile), this time using the other part of his theme, an animal in overalls
It is a "Cherished Teddy", Fall
My 4th square was made for Jody's quilt (Love Quilts to Make a Child Smile)
I modified the pattern to fit the required size. Jody's theme was race cars and firetrucks
My 5th square was made for a group effort for Operation Teddy Bear. One of the internet club I belong to all got together and each person picked a different Ellen Maurer-Stroh "baby" pattern to do.
My 6th and 7th squares were made for John's quilt (Love Quilts to Make a Child Smile)
His theme is dogs. John is the one on the left in the picture above.
This square was made for a quilt that will be made for the founder of AAP (Angel Afghan Project). It is a surprise, so if you know him, don't tell, ok? thanks
This is Joey's square, his theme is tigger.
This is Brianna's square, her theme is angels.
