When I belonged to a quilt guild for many years, we made quilts for David's House, a home away from home for patients and their families who were hospitalized for long periods, similar to a Ronald McDonald House, but unique to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital in Lebanon, NH. I always loved when we could see pictures of the quilts we'd made with their recipients. Since we've moved and I no longer belong to that guild, I've been looking for another quilting group where I can do something similar. I found it a great way to try out different colors and fabrics outside my normal comfort zone, and knowing that my efforts went to helping a child during a difficult time.
