Are you looking for ways to give this holiday season? How about using your talents and your fabric to lift others in need, both locally and around the world?
Cindy recently appeared on KSL’s STUDIO 5 to talk about several charities we hold near and dear to our hearts.
Riley Blake Designs is a sponsor of the One Million Pillowcase Challenge. From APQ, “American Patchwork & Quilting is challenging quilters, sewers and crafters to help us reach our goal of donating one million pillowcases to local charities. Many charities can benefit from the donation of a pillowcase and the challenge gives you the opportunity to donate and make a difference in your community.”

Grab your stash and whip up some adorable softies! Dolls of Hope provides these cute little teddy bears and dolls to refugee children around the world.
