I haven’t quilted much since the holidays because I had a short ER visit and stayed for tests. Fortunately, it was just high blood pressure, and I received a warning to make some changes.
I’ve been walking daily and gradually increasing the distance. I’m also eating healthier and trying intermittent fasting (per doctor’s recommendation), with an eating window from 2 to 7 pm every day. I’m also avoiding stress and drinking lots and lots of water. Sadly, I had to part ways with my old friend – Diet Mt. Dew but, I’m doing well with all the changes .
Enough about that… let’s talk quilts.
One of our guild members is associated with the Vita Nova organization. You can learn more about them by clicking on this link and reading their mission statement.
Vita Nova is a safe bridge to independence for former foster care and homeless youth through supportive housing, education, employment, and life skills training. They aim to eliminate homelessness for youth ages 18 to 25 in Palm Beach County.
I’ve had some quilts ready to donate for a while, waiting for the right organization. When I heard they needed quilts, I recognized Vita Nova from a thrift store they ran years ago. I knew this was the right place for my donations. I’m donating six quilts next week. I usually don’t wash quilts before donating unless they’re for a hospital or a baby, but I decided to wash these so they’d have a cozy, crinkly feel and to avoid any young person worrying they damaged the quilt the first time they washed it. 😊
