Kelly Corbridge brings us another quick and easy crib
quilt. Inspired by recent news reports of national and international
disasters, Kelly, along with members of her community, made quilts for
victims and the less fortunate as part of her church's humanitarian
relief effort. This program also benefits the quiltmakers, girls ages
12—18, by giving them the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution
while learning quiltmaking skills under Kelly's gentle guidance.
