I had never heard of this till yesterday.
I donate quilts to Project Linus. Now I also donate to this cause.
yep..I sew for a children's hospice...sadly we make them about 15 quilts a year! of course this is the ONLY children's only hospice in this area so we get kids from many counties. BUT, it is still so sad...
Yes, this is a wonderful program. I am a former Volunteer Coordinator for Hospices.... your hours of preparation for your quilts/throws is a tremendous asset for the Hospice... I had many who made them for our patients and you need to contact the Volunteer Coordinator of your local Hospice. She will be delighted to have you on the role!!!! The Families of the Patients will appreciate this lifetime gift from you...
