(We want to collect, and then distribute, a 'New Beginnings' sewing kit for those who need to start over with their craft. We will be posting the kits in bulk to the various quilting groups in each town.)
I wanted to contribute but it didn't seem feasible (with shipping and time restraints)
So what did I do???
I contacted Jennifer Reynolds and told her we'd like to help from over here in Canada, the U.S. and maybe even U.K.

Thanks for enabling those of us not living in Australia to still be able to help out.
I would like the birdhouse ruler pattern please.
You are amazing Ruth to think of such a great idea.
I'd like the birdhouse ruler pattern please - and no rush cause it will take me months to actually do it. Corinne
First of all, I love your blog title!! What an imaginative play on words. Very clever!! Secondly, I thank you for taking the ball and running with it! I've been waiting for the info on making a donation since, like you, I thought it a better idea than to ship to Australia. I wouldn't have known where to start or how to do it and I'm proud that you have set this up. (I'm a part-time Canadian, 6 months a year.ksdoolittle). And lastly, I'd like a copy of Jenny's Hearts at Home pattern. I have so many of Jenny's patterns, they are in their own binder!!! Happy New Year to you, and thank you for doing this. ~karen
Hi Ruth- Thanks so much for setting this up with Jenny and her fellow Gum Tree Designers, As a fellow Canadian I really wanted to help these fellow crafters, too. I would like the Birdhouse ruler tote. Now back to getting a couple of sewing kits done and in the mail.
Thanks so much Girls,I've e mailed your patterns.
KaHolly, you live in a beautiful place...(Cape Breton), and Corinne's in PEI!Lucky girls!!
Teresa and Vernagrace, thanks to you as well. Hee Hee
Hi Ruth, I'd love to put the donate button on my blog. I'm so limited in the help I can give - and I want to help so badly! You can email me at alliehomeschool [at] yahoo [dot] com.
I've been through a flood myself when I was 8. Luckily we were on high ground.The devastation surrounded us for months. It's the little pleasures that get us through the bad stuff. Hopefully my small donation can help bring the light back into the life of one of our sisters or brothers. Thank you for finding a way for those of us in the US and Canada to help. Please send the birdhouse ruler pattern.
Thanks for organizing this wonderful effort!! We need to help or friend in need! I would like the birdhouse ruler keeper pattern please.
