It's the latest group of refuge quilts that I have bought home to sew bindings on. This year as well as providing quilts to the Wellington Women's Refuge our Guild is also sending a consignment down to Christchurch, where I understand the refuge has lost half of its safe houses in the earthquake.
It's rather nice to have a quilt on the lap of an evening now the weather is starting to turn, and its definitely comforting as I watch yet more disasters unfold of an evening around the world. It's all rather mind boggling....
This is my favourite - I hope it brings comfort to someone who needs it. 
That's what I try to breathe into every stitch.

Wonderful quilts .... and I am sure they will bring comfort to whomever receives them.
It is nice to be able to do something to help in some way isnt it?

I love sewing bindings on - if you ever need any help just let me know!
How kind you are...natural disasters tend to bring out the best in people, don't they? I made a bundle of blocks and sent them to a lady in NZ who is making quilts for the people of Christchurch. She joined my blocks up and did the backing, wadding, and binding. I felt guilty that I couldn't do any of that but she insisted that even just the top of a quilt is half the work, and they were grateful.
