I am part of a group of ladies who makes baby quilts app. 36 x 36 for the special needs nursery at our local hospital.
My guild makes table runners to give to Habitat for Humanity so each person who gets a home, receives a table runner.
Another local guild makes cuddle buddies, which is a small 18 x 18 blankie that is put in a matching bag with a teddy bear for the police to keep with them for when they come across a situation involving a child that needs comforting.
Another lady in my guild is in charge of the local Linus Blanket chapter and we have work days for that.
Quilters are big hearted, caring people! I loved reading all the previous posts on this subject!!!
