Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT is a not-for-profit children's hospital ranked nationally in 9 pediatric specialties. Opened in 1922, it has now grown to a 289-bed children's facility with almost 15,000 admissions and over 40,500 emergency room visits reported last year!
If your family has not been directly touched by this hospital, chances are that you know someone who has.
Each year the Festival of Trees raises millions of dollars to support Primary Children's Hospital. Last year they raised over $2.3 million! This doesn't happen without the support of a generous community.
There are many ways to help: Attend and purchase something there, decorate and donate a tree, donate handmade items for the boutique, or donate a handmade quilt!
This year my friend, Jennifer Ward, is over the Quilt Block. They expect to have 100's of quilts donated that will be on display and for purchase. This year I had the privilege of quilting one of those quilts. This quilt was pieced by Paula Crawford using adorable, bright Riley Blake fabric!
Wouldn't you love to be a part of this wonderful event?? Riley Blake Fabrics donate bolts and bolts of fabric every year to be used exclusively for the Festival of Trees. If you want to get a head start on a quilt for the Quilt Block you can take advantage of this donated fabric free of charge, then donate your time and talents to create a beautiful quilt. Contact me and I will get you lined up with fabric of your choice (or I can surprise you and give you fabric of my choice!). Go to work and get a quilt made now so you will be ready to donate it next November!
Festival of Trees runs November 30-December 3rd 2016 at the South Towne Expo Center. Get tickets now and plan to attend this amazing event, you won't be disappointed!! **I have tickets available for purchase is you need them.
Happy Quilting and thanks for stopping by the Front Porch!
