Hexagons of Hope . . .

. . . is a lovely idea started by a blogger in Australia who is passionate about hexagons in patchwork. Since I am quite keen on these myself, I came across this while doing some research about hexagon piecing on the Internet. For anyone interested, here is the link for this great helping hand for the sewing and craft ladies who have been victims of the Victorian bushfires in Australia. Imagine having a houseful of treasured quilts and handicraft that you have spent years sewing, collecting etc., only to have it all destroyed by fire! Heartbreaking in the extreme - we can only guess at the distress the whole event has caused. Hexagons of Hope is a way of showing these ladies that other people are thinking of them, holding out a small helping hand and doing so with love. If you are a quilter/patchworker a few of these will take very little of your time and will really help someone to carry on. Click here for more info.
