Hi everyone!

We hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday! By the near end of the workweek, we simply just want the week to be over without realizing that wishing for the weekend would mean wistfully passing through the many moments leading up to it. Sometimes we need to stop and recognize the beauty that life truly holds, even in those stressful and long but brief periods of time.

That is why we’ve decided to dedicate our Thursdays to appreciating the people around us. We truly are so lucky and blessed. In the heart of another Thankful Thursday, today we are proudly taking the time to thank our selfless #SewSocial partners, Quilts for Kids.

We launched our #SewSocial Project this Summer, partnering with Quilts for Kids, Mary Fons, and the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players. It has been such a fantastic journey thus far, and we hope we can continue our #SewSocial for years to come. In collaborating with Quilts for Kids, we have been able to create lapquilts that will comfort children in need. Our goal is to brighten these children’s days by giving them something loving and warm. It truly has been such a heartfelt and inspiring experience working with such an altruistic group of people.

Quilts for Kids launched in 2000 by founder Linda Arye when she started out using fabric samples from landfills to create quilts for children in need. 13 years later, it is now an international organization that donates over 30,000 quilts every year. The Quilts for Kids mission statement is “transforming fabric into patchwork quilts that comfort children with life-threatening illnesses and children of abuse”. They have since been able to bring so many smiles to children every year and we are so proud and honored to be partnered with such a beautiful cause.

We are also donating 10% of the proceeds from our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis fabric collection to Quilts for Kids! Check out the full collection on our website here.

And here are some of the exquisite quilts being created using our fabric:

Thank you so much Linda and all the wonderful people at Quilts for Kids. You truly are all so marvelous, and we are blessed to be collaborating with you for our #SewSocial Project.

Happy Sewing!
