I also make charity quilts and when I drop them off, they ask me to fill out paperwork for basic address info and what it was that I donated. In a couple weeks, I receive a form letter thanking me for the donation. The last time I dropped off 4 baby quilts I told them that I really didn't need the acknowledgment, just seeing the happiness in their faces was enough for me. I know that this probably isn't enough for most of you, but you have to remember just how busy these organizations can get. I've seen these wonderful volunteers sorting through a mountain of boxes of donated toys/games/blankets/quilts and wished I lived closer so that I could donate some of my time. For them to take the time to write thank-you's to each person is asking quite a bit. You have to remember why you are donating --- to provide quilts for children/adults/elderly who need them.
