Thanks. I'm taking notes. So far the donations I have been doing are only modest little quilts that are to be given directly (via our guild) to people in hospitals, women's and children's shelters, etc.. I think I'll continue to do that because it's seems more rewarding that way. I never actually find out who gets them or what they think of them, but maybe imagination is better than a disappointing reality.
