It started with a pillowcase dress...and grew into a worldwide movement: crafters using their passion to help those in need. The Craft Hope blog--which organizes crafters to make handmade items for charities--has attracted followers around the world. This book, written by the site's founder and featuring crafting's hottest star, celebrates the cause and encourages others to join in. Each project is matched with a specific charity, with alternative suggestions for local places to contribute the item. The projects--all with beautiful photographs, step-by-step instructions, and templates--include cheerful quilts for hospitalized children, soft dolls for Nicaraguan orphans, tug toys for animal shelters, knit gloves for homeless shelters, a cloth backpack for schoolchildren in Africa, a stylish purse for women moving out of abusive relationships, and knit scarves for foster care teens heading off to college.

In addition, there are plenty of helpful tips on how to give locally and globally, how to give thoughtfully and appropriately, and how to empower those you are helping.
