Any ideas?
Thanks.
Check with pediatricians. A guild that I attended donated quilts annually to a local pediatrician who distributed them to needy patients or kids that were really sick and in need of comfort. As he gave them out, he sent a card to the quilter to tell her that her quilt had been given to a child of __ age, etc. No name, etc. Also nursing homes have residents who rarely have visitors or would love the hug of a quilt that someone made just for them.
