Plus the quilt club I'm in, we make comfort quilts for all ages The last community service project we did was 35 baby comfort quilts for our police cars to give to children on their violent domestic calls. We recently received some Christmas fabrics so we are thinking of making apron-bib for handicapped seniors in a care home. Every year we also make a couple of fund raising quilts to help the senior center, church, etc. Anyway, let me know. If you are in Florida I know shipping is expensive but we would be interested in an donations. Thank you.
I recently moved my sewing room from one room to another. I gave away bags and bags of fabric to two friends who volunteer at senior centers - teaching quilting. I wrapped the fabric I kept on comic book cardboards. My new room is neat and well organized - was well worth all the time it took and I no longer feel totally overwhelmed by a stash that was to large for me to manage.
