Quilts for Empowerment

I found out about this awesome ministry when I was giving my quilt lecture in Bend, Oregon. I made sure to look them up on quilt show day and support them by purchasing this wall hanging. 
Their main goal:
We teach quilting to impoverished women in Kenya, including obstetric fistula survivors, and young sexual assault survivors. We help women gain the skills and self-confidence to become economically independent and assist the girls to complete their education.


 This just really makes me happy!
This handwritten note was tucked in the little basket in front of the chicken. 
The back has this info about the maker.
I'd love for you to check out their website HERE.

We had a quick getaway to the coast over night this past weekend. 
It was an interesting weekend but all is well now. 
I've never seen these cool dunes on the beach before. 
I had an opportunity for a long training walk early Sunday morning. I love seeing the iconic Newport bridge and couldn't help but snap a photo.


Let's make it a really great week!
