I put my name, address and email on the label as well as in the letter I send with each of my quilts. I have heard from the Red Cross volunteers and military personnel who pass the quilts out, but have not heard from any of the recipients. I look forward to hearing from them when the time is appropriate. Right now I believe their job is to get well. -- Regardless, I will continue.
My dh is an avid reader and recently we have been sticking two from his book stash in our boxes. He also has written some Christmas cards which we include. John is also a Marine. Today he received a nice note from the wife of a Marine at a VA hospital in West Virginia.
Most of our mailings are to the East Coast, however, I have sent to OK, CA and WY as well. Shipping for longer distances cost more. Many have been sent directly to Iraq and Afghanistan.
I must learn how to post pictures from my digital camera. Anyone have any ideas how to start - after the new year though. Too much on my plate before then.
