I've made Quilts for Kids for the past year - 4 or 5 or them a month. The reason I decided to do this was that I knew where the quilts were going - to the University Children's Hospital. I also donate to my quilt guild - usually 1 a month. They go to the Salvation Army. The reason I favor my local Quilts for Kids is that these kids are sick and need comfort. While the Salvation Army does a terrific job, I've worked and volunteered in organizations in the community and know that there are families that know the rounds - and make them like clockwork to get what they can get free. It's not that they necessarily need it, it's that they feel like they are entitled to it. I like the idea that some child that needs comfort is clinging to a quilt that I made.
