craftgrrlSo I found a post on Ravlery that led me to this Craftsy blog:
http://blog.craftsy.com/2012/03/meet-maddie/
This is a little girl in Tennessee who learned how to quilt, and is setting up a charity to make and distribute quilts for needy kids. According to an article I found in her local paper, the plan is that they will be distributed by first responders to kids who have experienced car wrecks, house fires, and other such trauma. Only problem is, Grandma is on a fixed income, and the fabric stash is limited. There's an address listed at the bottom of the Craftsy page where you can send fabric scraps and other quilting materials for Maddie. Further down in the comments, her grandmother lists fabric stores that are in their area (should you prefer to send gift cards) as well as Maddie's e-mail, should you want to drop her a note.
I post this because I think it's wonderful to see a small kid who loves crafts so much, and who is giving away her hard work to help the less fortunate. And I think that as crafters, as well as kind human beings, this is something we ought to celebrate and support however we can, be it by donations of materials, or just by kind words of encouragement.
