The World Of Charity Stitching (WOCS) is an organization who uses stitched pieces to make into quilts, tote bags, walker bags, pillows ect. to give to various organizations and individuals. Right now they are donating "gifts" to nursing homes and shelters for abused women and children. When I came across their web-site I just knew I had to join! What a great way to bring a smile to those in need. If you are interested or would like more information about this organization visit their facebook page by clicking here or visit their blog by clicking here.
This is what I have made for them so far:
This silly cow will be made into a child's quilt. The pattern came from a free web site which can be found by clicking here. I stitched this on 14 ct. White Aide 2 over 1.
This shark will be made into another quilt for an older male. The theme was marine life. This free pattern was found on-line if you would like it just click here. This pattern was stitched on 14ct. White Aide 2 over 1.
This funky fish pattern was also a freebie I found on-line. Unfortunately I was unable to find the website it came from...sorry. This design is not for anything inparticular. That is one of the nice things about this charity group. You can stitch what ever you want or any theme you want and they will make it into a charitable gift. This pattern was stitched on 14 ct. White Aida 2 over 1.

That pumpkin cow is adorable! I'm about to start on a manatee to join your shark in the sea life quilt. I look forward to seeing more of your stitching. What I've seen so far is gorgeous. Happy stitching!
