Patrice, thanks for your reply. I was going to type about germs not thriving as much in cold air, but you beat me to it. This is a good thread for those of us who are looking for a donation opportunity close to home. it seems as though dialysis centers are getting to be as common as Starbucks! The typical jelly roll race quilt is long and narrow and a good size for this type of use. They tend not to be quite as nice a size for other purposes, so maybe they would get used as intended rather than walk off with the staff.
Jingle, is there any chance at all that those nurses thought you were giving them the quilts?! How could they!
