The Challenge: This one is Shades of Blue. Easy, peasy. Add shades of blue to your project. Show us your winter blues. It can be any stitched project, just make sure there is a shade of blue somewhere.
I love blue, so I decided to join Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks even though it is mid summer here so no winter blues.
I made this quilt as a donation quilt for a woman here in town whose daughter suicided a few years ago, I don't know the woman but she works at the local Woolworths supermarket and she is always pleasant and friendly. She runs a raffle every year for Beyond Blue which is a suicide prevention organisation , so I asked her if she would like a quilt for her raffle, she said yes so this is it.
The quilt is called Warm Hugs and is a Meadow Mist Design quilt pattern by Cheryl Brickey. I am quiltinig on my domestic machine a very simple straight line design.

SEW generous and such a worthy cause!! You were smart to use the Challenge to make progress on this quilt.
such a sweet quilt and fun yellow accents or is that part of the fabric? and sweet to donate to that, so sad that suicide among young people have gone up so much in the last few years.
Just gorgeous! And for a great cause xx
