Love wins

All too often terrible events happen across the world, many of which we are unable to do much about but we can respond to them.

So I made a couple blocks for Pulse; I couldn’t resist using the selvedge in this:

I had enough of this gorgeous rainbow print too:

Then the MP Jo Cox was murdered and the Leeds MQG put out a call for wonky cross blocks to make quilts for her bereaved family.

Tobit made his first ever quilt block following Lisa’s instructions:

The children all chose some fabric from stash and I made blocks so that there is one from each member of our family:

It was a complete coincidence that we chose similar/coordinating fabrics! Tobit decided to make a heart block too:

If you want to help you can, for details on making blocks or #quiltsforpulse please go to Orlando MQG (if you’re in the UK you can send blocks to @esthermorrey on IG who is posting them off to the USA) and for making #quiltsforjo visit the Leeds MQG.  Let us show love and hope to others in these sad times.
