I have to say that not all hospices do the lap quilts. I have worked for one and DH has worked for several. They get some in from different groups once in awhile and I donate them when I can. I have 6 right now in different stages that need to go to DH's hospice.
ForMyMom, My heart goes out to you. I know it was a hard decision, but now she is safe and have a few less worries. Good luck on your search for the right place for all of her quilting!

When my MIL was on hospice I used to look at her hospice lap robe on her bed and think of the hours someone spent making something for a stranger.
