Yes, buddysmimi, there has never been a returned Project Linus quilt around here either. The kids love them. Actually, I know several families where they still have the quilts when the kids reach teenage years.
In another instance, during one of our quilt shows at a small local museum, where I had set up our charity quilts, etc booth, a 30-something lady come up to me saying how pretty the small quilts were. Then she said she had been a battered women's center resident at one point in her life and had received a charity quilt but lost it when a fire destroyed her home. Because I had made many of the display quilts using my own money, I reached over and silently gave one of mine to her. She cried; we hugged and I could tell her quilt memories lived once again. Comfort within a quilt comes and heals lives many times over.
