Our guild makes quilts that go to all kinds of charities, including ones for abused women, and also childrens homes that have kids up through age 18. They love anything they get that they can call their own. Also a good place for donated quilts or fabrics for them is "Home of the Brave" quilts that go to surviving members of Military killed while on duty in Iraq or Afghanistan. I have made several Home of the Brave quilts. My DD#1 is in the Army, station in Bagdhad. 2 1/2 yrs ago she was in Afghanistan and they lost a couple members of their unit.

So you are a military wife? My DH spent 20 years in the Navy, he retired from there 6 years ago, or so. We also have 4 kids but as of Mid August last year we have an empty nest. Though I have my 3rd daughter home for the week for spring break from college.
