That is where i use to make and donate like crazy as well as thr Ronald McDonald House. I would make the dolls they used and gowns to fit the. I was also asked to make memory quilts thats what started me in quilting.They were lapquilts just made with plain fabric blocks. some had to be a solid light color block, Than the nurses would help the patient write messages to their families. , draw pictures , put hand prints and misc on the solid blocks. Than when the patient passed the quilt was given to the family. When they told me that how could I not do it. Did it for many years. But now I'm just not able to drive into Cleveland 30 minute ride is just too much.
