Open Quilting for Peace and prepare to be inspired by stories of individuals and organizations devoted to quilting for those in need and to raise awareness for social causes. These volunteers are part of a centuries-old and growing movement to change the world through quilting - from Binky Patrol, a group that makes quilts for children in crisis, to the Sleeping Bag Project, which distributes 100,000 homemade sleeping bags to the homeless every year, to Quilts of Valor, whose members stitch quilts to honor wounded soldiers, to Morsbags, an organization that promotes sewing cloth shopping bags in hopes of eradicating plastic ones. This motivating book features essays on 25 quilting-for-peace endeavors along with 15 charity projects - from blankets to toys to totes - as well as easy-to-follow guidelines for quilters who want to contribute to an existing effort or establish a new one of their own. Become a part of the quilting-for-peace movement: Make the world a better place one stitch at a time!
