Stitch It and Gift It Blog Hop - Last Day, My Day, and Giveaway - Shared Hearts

Welcome
to

the final day of the

Stitch It and Gift It Blog Hop.

 I'm sad to see this hop end.

I don't think I've seen this much inspiration in one blog hop, ever!

To all that participated or commented -

Thank you so much!

My head is swimming with all kinds of gift ideas

and I can't wait to get to stitching.

But first, it's my day to show my "Shared Hearts" quilt.

This quilt was the inspiration behind this blog hop.

I started this quilt top in January for the Project Quilting challenge, Hope Springs Eternal.

The intention was to donate it to

Quilts for Cure

PROVIDING QUILTS FULL OF HOPE, LOVE, AND SMILES TO KIDS FIGHTING CANCER

 Following the Heart block tutorial at Cluck Cluck Sew - I calculated for a 12" finished quilt block.   I added sashing to the top of half the blocks and the bottom of the other half.

The top was finished in January and was a UFO until this hop.

Now it's ready to wrap a sweet child in comfort while she fights cancer.

Sharing Hearts is 48" x 57" and made from my stash fabrics.
I quilted on my long arm with Glide thread (white).

I invited bloggers to start the season of giving with a blog hop

celebrating the art of sewing or quilting
and then
gifting.

A week of gift-giving inspiration!

I'm excited to introduce today's line-up of bloggers.

I am always moved by the giving hearts of so many quilters

and

love reading the stories behind the gifts.

The gifts we give aren't always personal

but

are from just wanting to make a difference for someone.

All week I've been sharing along with the amazing bloggers. 

I've shared different ways to share stitching with charitable organizations. 

Be sure and check my past posts this week for other ideas for charitable stitching.

Somehow our little canoe ended up in the pasture behind the pond, but it makes for an interesting picture.  I just love photographing quilts.

Be sure to check out Carol's blog hop at Just Let Me Quilt coming in December.

And I will be announcing a new blog hop for next year sometime next week.
