The IBD Quilt Project
August 27, 2009Those with crafty inclinations might be interested in this unique non-profit the IBD Quilt Project. This group creates quilts with squares contributed by those suffering with bowel diseases, then displays the quilts in a variety of venues across the country.
For those who have suffered with a disease the project gives opportunities to make a square yourself and mail it to them. Finished quilts can then be booked for fundraisers, hospital waiting rooms, outreach events, or group meetings.
This project is just another example of people using their talents to fight bowel disease. For those looking for a way to get involved, you can a) make a square for the quilt (no sewing skills required, they say), b) donate money to help the quilts get sent around the country, or c) request a quilt be shipped to your next IBD-related event to help raise awareness for the disease.
Keep fighting,
~Dennis
