Omak, When we lived in New Hampshire, our quilt guild made quilts for Dartmouth's Mary Hitchcock Hospital's equivilent of a Ronald McDonald House - David's House named after a child who needed long term care up there (in Lebanon, NH) & started by his parents. Anyway, we gave many, many quilts to them. That guild is still active and one of the most recent issues of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine showed a lovely quilt made by Nancy Bell and another lady from the guild, Hannah Dustin, that was raffled off to benefit David's house. We were often recipients of letters from the children's families after they had either left David's House for home, or passed away. So many of them would mention that the child had been buried with their quilt!!!! That really gets to you, big time!
