Our neighborhood quilt group for the last 9 years has made charity quilts. We donated lap quilts to the Red Cross to distribute to nursing home residents, baby and smaller quilts for foster care children, to a neighborhood distribution center for the working poor, as well as project Linus, and what we called Project Snoopy (Pet beds for the SPCA) (We disbanded this year because of personal circumstances, but I plan to continue to make some each year for various causes.)
