It does my heart good to see your post. I read a post on SA today that soldiers have asked for as for as many blankets as we can send. Today I am serging single layer fleece blankets to send to the hospital in Germany. It gets mighty cold for our wounded soldiers on the airplane. I found 1.5 yard fleece remnants at half price at JoAnn's that are the perfect size as the wounded are on stretchers size beds on the planes.
There is no better gift than a gift from the heart, whether it is the soldiers, the homeless, children, charity or hospitals.
Thanks for your response! I'm blessed to partner with a good quilting friend to head up doing community quilting initiatives in the local quilt guild I belong to. I consider myself to be a novice quilter; however, since I've been involved with community service, I have learned so much about quilting & made many new friends. I certainly recommend community service activities to anyone who will listen! Goes hand-in-hand with the old familiar quote "Love isn't love until you give it away". Fayzer, God bless you & everyone who reads this!
