Hello there I have just started following this blog and this lady is amazing her ministry is to make quilts for prisoners so that the dads have a an opportunity to choose a quilt for a gift for their kids. I was in tears looking at the pictures of the dads wrapping themselves in the quilts so the kids could "smell" dad. I am going to sign up to make one she has about 71 kids who are on a waiting list for a quilt. I am going to post the link if anyone has an extra quilt or could help it might be something to look at. She does have have a need right now for 7 quilts for January birthdays. Thanks for looking. Jade
