I have been coordinating the making of house quilts on behalf of Furnishing
Hope, a non profit organization that provides the interior
decor/furniture for Habitat for Humanity in Orange County, as well as,
for the Wounded Warrior Battalion from Orange County to San Diego. To
date, this project has created 55 house quilts for Furnishing Hope,
since September of 2010.
The Wounded Warrior program is an ongoing project where they furnish
four homes a month, sometimes with only a weeks notice. These are for
wounded US Soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. Here is
their website

I am looking for more people to make house quilts for this
organization, so they can have them ready to go at a moments notice.
The art quilts measure 12" wide by 16" high vertical format and each
quilt must have a house and an American flag on it. Two pop tops are
sewn on the top back for easy hanging. More information about placement
and the label for the back are on under the "Criteria" tabs on the top
tool bar.
I will post every house quilt that I receive, on the blog, with a short
note from you as to why it was important for you to get involved in the
project. Also, be sure to include your website or blog address for the
side bar.
I would be delighted if you would consider making a house quilt for
this project, and make a difference in the life of a US wounded
warrior.
Since everyone appreciates deadlines, aim for these dates, on or before
December 5
December 16
or the first week in January 2012
Please leave me a comment, or e-mail if you are interested in participating. Thank you so much!
