I remember hearing about the shootings at your church, so so sad.
I give most of my quilts away, to someone I think should have one or needs one. Right now I'm making one for DGD's friend's Mom, taking treatments for brain cancer. Makes your heart feel better to bring a little comfort to someone.
I gave My MIL a quilt when she lost a Son 4-27-2010. She told me many,many times how much she liked it and that it was the prettiest quilt she had ever seen. She told me on the phone Monday that she thanks me every morning when she makes her bed.
I like giving the quilts to someone I or a family member knows and I get feed back as to how much they enjoy it and happy to have it.
This is how quilting helps me to help others.
