ready . . . . set . . . . go!! and we are off and running now:) with my facebook challenge to the group members of "quilters of greece unite" to join the event "quilt with a purpose," (see the charity causes tab to the left) we have set off a quilting explosion. quilters from athens, greece, various locations in america, and our team of quilters here in thessaloniki are poised and ready to create 50 baby sized quilt tops for Christmas/2010. all of which will be donated to the local orphanages here in thessaloniki. anyone is invited to join in our effort. you don't even have to quilt the tops together. we will do that in our quilting studio here with batting, fabric for the backs, and binding. just mail us your pieced tops. and pass the challenge on to your quilting friends. get together and have fun and at the same time use your talents to give something back to those in need. let's brighten up those nurseries, girls:) you can stuff your pieced tops into a post office mailing envelope and send them to me at:

the children's book entitled, "the quilt maker's gift," by jeff brumbeau and gail de marcken, is a delightful story about a mythical quiltmaker who makes beautiful quilts -- but only for the poor and homeless. and like the quiltmaker in this story, i too make my quilts only for those less fortunate. as a Christ-follower and a quiltmaker it is my hope that the quilts that i make for the widow, the orphan, the aged, and the poor and homeless will result in warmed hearts and changed lives. sooo, if you or a group that you belong to would like to join me in this adventure, please contact me and we will see how you can join in!! -- kristine pappas
