Hi ya'all! It's Lyanna over at
PurplePandaQuilts. When I'm not busy quilting, 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! To be eligible all you have to do is send in a stocking and link up the linky party on December 1st at
PurplePandaQuilts.blogspot.com. You will get one entry per stocking you donate. Also be on the lookout for other "mystery" giveaways throughout the event.
This is very important. I need all stockings to be mailed to me by
no later than December 1st. For address information check the flickr group or send me an email at PurplePandaQuilts(at)gmail(dot)com.
Finally, I've set up a
flickr group -
Stockings for Kids - where you can go to sign up to make stockings, post pictures of your stockings, and see what other people have made as well.
