I am not physically or financially able to foster, but I understand completely what you
mean about making a quilt and never hearing another thing.
It's perfectly human to wonder who got it and if they were very pleased or it brightened
a sad day.
I need that kind of feedback to spur me on.
I also don't know where to donate for children or abuse shelters without paying
phenomenal amounts at the post office.
I have some fabric that could really go into these projects, but I don't have time
and/or health-energy. I can't even afford to "gift" them through the mail to someone
that would use them for kids. It makes me sad that they just sit there.
I sent a gift pkg. to a friend and had to take one fabric out bc it wouldn't fit into
the mailer and I couldn't afford more than the $7 and change.
