done Good {round up}

do. Good Stitches is a modern online community that quilts for good.  Originally based on Flickr, some circles are now connecting more through Instagram.  We work in teams of ten members to make collaborative charity quilts.  Over the years the bee has grown and grown, so that I can hardly keep current with all the beautiful work being done.  It has been quite awhile since I've shared a "done Good" post, so rather than highlighting just one circle, I've decided to share my eight favorite recently finished quilts!

Thanks to all who have contributed time, fabric and creative energy to make quilts for others through do. Good Stitches this year.  Every quilt given in love is a success in my eyes!

In 2017 there are some new openings in the bee, especially for quilters (who take turns leading and finishing a collaborative quilt about twice annually).  If you are interested please learn about do. Good Stitches here.  While quilts of all styles are wonderful acts of charity, this bee intends to bring together those who enjoy sewing with modern fabrics and are comfortable using social media such as Flickr or Instagram to share pictures of blocks and quilts.
