“Charity Quilt Day” March 29 Wraps Up “National Quilt Month”

To wrap up “National Quilt Month,” Judy Howard is designating March 29 as “Charity Quilt Day.” This campaign raises awareness and funding for the sacrificial volunteer work of quilters like you who provide comforters for sick babies, orphans, soldiers and homeless—all those most in need of the touch of God’s love and comfort that quilts represent.

On March 29, Judy is donating the net proceeds of Amazon sales of her books, “Heavenly Patchwork I and II” and “Centennial Stitches” to non-profit groups like The Hugs Project, Binky Patrol, Project Linus, Quilts for Injured Soldiers, Wrap Them in Love, Newborns in Need, Quilts for Kids, Gig Harbor Quilt Festival for the Tacoma Women’s Breast Cancer Resource Center, Harmony Hill Retreat and Casting for Recovery, My Brother’s Keeper that provide charity quilts. You may even designate your local guild or favorite charity quilting non-profit as beneficiary.

Besides donating to worthy charities, those who purchase Judy’s award-winning gift books on Amazon on March 29 will receive bonus gifts of free quilt patterns, quilting tips and book excerpts by renowned celebrity quilt artists and historians like Kaye Wood, Darcy Ashton, Nancy Kirk, Ruth Harris, Jennie Rayment, Judy Anne Breneman, M.J. Van Deventer, Lucille Ralston, Dorcas Publishing, My Brother’s Keeper, etc. Buy all three books and get one free.

Please join Judy on “National Charity Quilt Day” in honoring charity quilters and their tireless work by helping “Wrap those in need with quilts of love” through your purchase of “Heavenly Patchwork” gift books on Amazon March 29 or today. Thanks for sharing this info in quilt newsletters, websites, yahoo groups, blogs, chat rooms, and with all your quilting buddies. Check for details on www.HeavenlyPatchwork.com.
