I made a few quilts for QFK, but I decided to save the mailing expense and donate to local groups instead. I belong to 3 guilds and a sewing group at the LQS, and all of them collect quilts for various purposes, including hospice, local military leaving for deployment, abused women's shelters, hospitals, and children in need. Sometimes I just do the longarming for the quilts, and other times I make the whole quilt. I don't feel that I do enough, however. One guild member makes around 100 quilts per year for children in need, and they are all very nice quilts and most are large enough for a teen's bed. Another member quilts them for her. I don't know how they do it.
