🎉Book tour & Giveaway!!! Plus Block #12 Hometown Charms🏡

Well this is a FUN day! Not one but TWO giveaways and the last block of Home Town Charms! 

For our final HomeTown Charms block we come together to do good work. We end the blocks with Charity. It is the cornerstone of our communities. Neighbors helping neighbors in so many ways.  It might be an ongoing project, or fundraising for a very specific need. Working together to do good is an incredible thing we as humans can be part of. 

When you share your block, tell me about the charities and fundraisers that are important to you. 

...Let's get to it!

*** Sloan Zone Ambassador team *** their charity and fundraiser 💕

• Kendall - I helped fundraise to get a church bell tower completed after being missing for 100 years, we also got bells for the tower from a church in England that was lost to fire, for example)
• Laura - My hometown now, Bellefontaine (French for beautiful spring) is being revitalized. By a group of entrepreneurs called, Small Nation. Our town has become a standard for other towns who are now restoring their towns. Small Nation has basically gone through gutted each building/business and restored it back to its original beauty. Old dilapidated buildings have been saved.  And Our town has the smallest street (McKinley St) in America and the first concrete street in America (court st) It was a test street.
• Suzanne - Like many quilters, I pitch in with my guilds “ community quilts”. Over the years I’ve made tops and now quilt for the group. They supply quilts to our local childrens homes , womens shelter, local sheriff and fire departments emergency response teams. I also quilt for a group in neighboring Connecticut called Quilts that Care. They supply quilts to cancer patients in treatment and in hospice. For over 30 years I have been a “friend” to my local library.
• Barbara - My favorite charity currently is The Normady Project. It’s a organization created to help women who have escaped human trafficking, where they can learn to live independently through mentoring, support and encouragement. In addition, on-site classes are offered in areas of trauma recovery, healthy boundaries, life skills, employment skills, parenting skills, culinary skills, exercise and more.
• Carrie G - Both my daughter and I are Girl Scouts. We support our local council and service units efforts which not only empower young woman, but teaches them the importance of community service. Even my son benefited from his sister being a Scout for 13 years as he modeled what she learned through the organization.
• Kathy - Many of the groups I belong to do a Charity project each year. Over the years I have made quilts for preemie beds, lap quilts for Hospice, quilts for the woman's shelter, hats, scarves, and washcloths for the homeless. I also volunteer my time with several local organizations.
• Brenda -Growing up my mom taught me that no matter how bad you think you have it there’s always someone else that is having an even harder time. Giving and helping others it’s a good thing.
  Alzheimer’s research I made 36 Art quilts which were auctioned and proceeds went to research. Pretty Chemo caps with machine embroidery made and donated to local Cancer treatment center. I even donated my hair minimum 10” more than once. For cancer wigs that are provided free to patients. Crochet the tiniest hats & booties for our NICU. And also for the
  March of dimes preemie project. Making tiny quilts & blankets. Just the size of a legal envelope! Helps those fragile babies look more like real babies and gives comfort to the families. Just some of my ways to give to others
• Dorris - The quilt group I am in donates quilts to Quilts of valor, Child Advocacy, and Family Promise (a group for homeless or near homeless families with children in our county). There are only 8 of us on a regular basis and we have made and donated over 50 quilts so far this year. I do the quilting on a large percentage of the quilts in addition to doing my own.

   My favorite holiday memory was going to Grandma's for Christmas Eve dinner. She would make ornaments throughout the year and her tree would be filled with her handcrafts. At the end of the evening we could select a new ornament to take home and put in our own Christmas stash. I still have her felted, feathered birds and sequined Styrofoam balls and even little plastic canvas mailboxes that you can hide a Hershey's kiss in.
2. Suzanne who said...
   Hi Pat… my favorite holiday tradition is baking cookies. I have already made gingerbread men and pecan Tassies, yum! My favorite holiday sweet is peppermint hot chocolate. We make it at home but I also enjoy Starbucks too. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🥰❤️!
