Our quilt guild has made quilts for Ronald McDonald House, families of military personnel killed in recent wars, NICU quilts which cover the incubators while the patient is there and then go home with them when they leave. Also for the local homeless shelter, Rape and Domestic Abuse families, and cancer hats. We have several work nights a year and everyone brings little goodies for treats and we just sew up a storm. It is amazing to see the pile finished in just one long evening. I have made quilts out of non-traditional fabrics, such as plisse, demim, and double knits. The homeless and those who have nothing appreciate them immensely.
