Charity Art Quilt Project

This is the quilt I've done for the Charity Art Quilt Project hosted by Heidi to benefit the Strive For Life Foundation. Artists from all over the world are contributing one quilt square each with a gypsy theme. She will then assemble these squares and auction off to raise money to help the street kids of Romania.





I had a hard time working on it since this was the first time I'd ever sewn a quilt. Luckily for me, I have some basic sewing skills... so it wasn't too bad afterall. Hehe. Though I did screw up on my first attempt and had to ask Heidi for more time to make a 2nd piece. This was what the lovely Heidi responded, 'Please do not be overly critical of your work - remember we judge ourselves far more harshly than others ever could. I am sure your square is beautiful, and it is ever so appreciated, especially because you are stretching outside of your familiar art medium to help out.'' Touched... :') Thank God I didn't let her down this time. Hope my 2nd attempt was good enough.

If you think you might be interested to take part in this meaningful project, please visit Heidi's blog for more information. I'm sure she will be very happy to have you on board. :)
