Free Patriotic, Sewing and Quilting Patterns, Tutorials and Links

Our beloved polydactyl calico, Willow, lived to be 18 years old. I still miss her and her wonderful work as my primary quilting cat. She kept the others in line as she found her quilt testing and inspecting right up close and personal. Here she inspects a patriotic quilt as we prepare for Memorial Day in May going into the 4th of July.

Red, white, and blue or any of its variations works all summer long for festive decorating or gift giving.

Charitable and Community Quilting

If you have been a follower of my primary blog With Heart and Hands then you know that I have been making my own "healing hearts" or comfort quilts, for community and charitable giving since I first learned to quilt. And above all else, I seek to be of service..both in my real life, and virtually through my blog.

Martin Luther King was born on my father's birthday, January 15th, so in honor of both of these fine men, both pioneers in their own lives and in their own ways, I always quilt and sew for charitable causes on this day.....always!

Check out my primary blog by clicking on the photo of me at work and see some of the projects I create for donation and check out a nice list of primary topics for free sewing and quilting links that are wonderful ideas for charitable donations to foster children programs, hospitals, nursing homes and children's programs of all kinds. I also have patterns for honoring military families with quilts, banners, and tote bags, and ideas for pillowcases, hot pads and many, many other items that make wonderful gifts or projects for raising money for your quilting group or guild!!!

In Memory: 9-11

Pause and reflect on a day of infamy, when all of our hearts were not only hurting, but also united as one.

And think about making a patriotic quilt for donation to a local VA hospital, a veteran in your life, or a patriotic quilting program either nationally, or in your local area.
