The wonderful folks at Martingale & Company, home of That Patchwork Place, is working on celebrating their 35th year. I'm proud to admit that I remember when they started publishing quilt books and have been delighted with their contributions, to the world of quilting, sewing, embroidery & more, for 35 years. Well, as they love to help others, they've come up with a fun way to celebrate their Anniversary with a "Share the Warmth" campaign. This is a charitable giving campaign, where quilters, knitters and crafters, from around the world are invited to participate. They have a goal of having 3,500 quilts, blankets, afghans, and throws made and donated to "your" local charities!
And, there are wonderful Prizes.
- 35 individual participants will be selected to receive a free craft book of their choice.
- Quilt guilds can participate and one quilt guild will be selected to win 35 books for their guild's library!
The random drawings will be held December lst, 2011 or when the tally for charity donations reaches 3,500.
{SewCalGal predicts this goal will be reached much, much earlier than this December date, so submit your entries early to Martingale & Company. And I hope far more than 3,500 donations are made as a result of this fun "Share the Warmth" effort.}.
Your help to spread the word via your blog, Facebook, Twitter, email is certainly appreciated.

Thanks for this info. And what a wonderful way for Martingale to celebrate their anniversary.
A wonderful way to celebrate an anniversary by giving back to the communities!
I enjoy their publications and salute them on their public spirit. I'm off to view the details. As my guild's librarian 35 new books would be a most welcome addition to our library.
Thank you SewCalGal! We truly appreciate you putting this on your blog, and we hope others will follow your lead!

That's great. I already contribute afghans/quilts to a local hospital, so I'll definitely get going. That's a nice way to celebrate their anniversary.
