I worked with our church Sunday School and between the kids, a few other volunteers and I, we brought 35 colorful pillowcases to children's unit of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. They like each child to have their own pillowcase to take home. Nurses enjoy picking out designs that fit each child. I made another 8 myself later on, and would do more if I had the fabric. Quiet Valley Quilt Guild has started donating to Project Linus and I've made a few, also quilting some made by other members for that. One of our members makes huge numbers for PL. I also have also given some through family members, one who works at a children's hospital, and daughter who teaches special needs kids. If only the batting weren't so pricy, I'd do lots more. I agree that giving locally is best if you can. Glad to hear some of the ideas in this blog!
