Making Charity Quilts
My obligation to make family quilts (new babies) is over with for awhile, and I want to start making quilts for the homeless people. Some of my friends who do this are advising me to not make it pretty because they say those quilts get stolen in shelters. I hope this is not true, so I am asking those folks who are so generous and make charity quilts if they have ever heard of such a thing. I am not a great quilter so I plan to make simple designs like 9-patch or strip quilts. I get blankets at estate sales to give to Operation Uplift, an organization that feeds and cares for homeless who live under bridges or along railroad tracks. I would be giving the quilts I make to this group.
