I remember years ago, when I had contact with local nursing homes, that the lap blankets were really appreciated. I know of a number of nurses who walked out with them. So, the demand was pretty high.
See, this is what I have trouble with. I love to make quilts to donate, but...I want them to go to needy people and not have somebody walk off with them . I was told/read where you should never make pretty quilts for the homeless because either someone from the organization you are donating to will walk off with it or they will have to fight for it out on the streets. That is so sad to me. With the economy the way it is, there are more homeless people all of the time and they can't all live in warm climates.
