We need your Help for the Flood Victims of Cedar Rapids Iowa

My dear Friends I need everyone help with this one . Over 5,400 families have lost everything. Freedom Quilts is stepping up and doing what it knows best asking for help and making quilts for these flood victims. Nothing is impossible if you have faith and right now I have faith that together we can make a huge different to all the families that have lost so much during the flood here in Iowa. I need quilts or money donation to make this possible. Any amount will do quilts small med or large. From Lap quilts on bigger. Color and design I will leave that up to you. It's always easier to come up with your own design then have someone telling you how it should be done. My goal is to bring comfort to these families and I hope with the help of everyone I could make that happen. United we stand and united we can make it happen. I know what the meaning of receiving a homemade quilts for I witness it many of times when I pass them out to families so please join with me and make a different I need you all to help so we can have enough quilts to give out by this winter. God blesses you all and I truly hope I hear from alot of you. Betty founder of Freedom Quilts

Winner of the Freedom Quilts 2008 Raffle is

Winner of the 2008 Freedom Quilts raffle was Lavon Mason from Fort Dodge. She told me she had never won anything in her life. Well she was lucky this time and won our beautiful quilt. We are preparing to design our next quilt for next year raffle. When we get it done we will post it on the website and the blog for all to see. So remember when you receive your letters please partaking in the raffle fund raiser it is our way of raising money to continue this project that has meant so much to so many families. Lavon Mason is the lady to the left of the quilt. She was very happy to win the quilt. Dennis and I took a little time off to help them quilt a little. We had a wonderful time with truly wonderful ladies.
