For our family, I make mostly wall hangings now .
For charity, I make bunches of approx. 45" snuggle quilts for our nonprofit called Firehouse Quilts. We donate the snuggles to Colorado Fire Depts; the fire fighters give them to children they see on their emergency runs. It's a wonderful cause and the quilts are small enough to make really quickly. There are no restrictions on the type of pattern used, or the type of quilting done on them. We ask that the quilting and binding is very secure as these quilts are used and washed often.
If you'd like to see more about this great group and see some photos with short, heart-warming stories, www.firehousequilts.org and click on deliveries.
We'd love to have any small-ish (approx 45" square) quilt tops or completed quilts that you'd like to donate for this cause. You can mail them to:
Firehouse Quilts of Colorado, Inc.
P O Box 630463
