The Schmidt family, who live in our neighborhood lost their home to a fire just days before Xmas  The loss of a home at this time of year is most defintly devastating. With the amount of snow we have had already, it makes me stop  to think about comfort and staying warm. How I would feel losing everything this way.
They not only lost their home, but two cars and work delivery truck. Thankfully Terry was getting up at 4 am to get ready for work when he saw the flames coming into the home from the garage.  So the family and dogs were safe.

 Obviously quilts are dear to my heart and in my mind offer comfort and warmth. To offer a little comfort and heart felt warmth to this couple I want to coordinate and sew a quilt for them.  Something for their new home. Something to help their new home feel like home.  If you have an  8″  block (that would mean 8 1/2″ unfinished) that you would like to contribute fold it into a standard #10 envelope and send it to the address below.   Any method, pieced or applique.
