Make stockings for needy kids

October 10, 2011 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

Lyanna of PurplePandaQuilts guest posted this announcement at Jolly Jabber blog:

I work with foster kids. I love it – they are always so happy and make me appreciate the things I have in life. Anyway this year for the holidays the agency I work with would really like to give each child a handmade stocking – a nice one that they can keep and reuse for years to come that we would then fill with all sorts of goodies.

This is where you come in. I am hosting a drive where you can donate a stocking. Our goal is to get at least 50 stockings. Don’t know how to make a stocking? No worries, I have you covered! From now until the end of November, there will be a free stocking tutorial posted every Tuesday. Some of your favorite bloggers have gathered together and agreed to contribute a unique stocking pattern, so be sure to check back on Tuesdays to see what it is!

And what’s a charity drive without some awesome sponsors and prizes? There are a lot of great prizes lined up (hint: lots of fabric!) and even a $50 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop!

Go to the blog post for details about how to join in.
