    Default 6 quilts for Adopt-A Family

    I have a friend who participates in a program at the local college where she used to teach. Each person who signs up takes one needy family and provides Christmas for them. Instead of adopting one family, my friend provides quilts for as many children as she can. She does this with help from her friends. Last year 42 quilts were delivered. I'm not sure how many she has this year but it's in the 40+ range. So far, all children under the age of 18 have received a quilt for the last 3 years (well, this is the 3rd year). I sent her these 6 quilt tops and she finished them off.

    All are beautiful quilts and what a nice, kind gesture for the children. I am sure she has a good feeling when she gives to the children.
