The quilters here locally are having a booth in Klamath Falls, OR., during their Christmas bazaar, and we're hoping to sell quite a lot of our quilts. I'm sure that a shelter would much appreciate a few quilts. As for a nursing home, I would check and see what they do with a quilt, once a resident dies. Our local home when a resident dies, if the family doesn't want the quilt, they toss it in the trash, which is why I don't donate to our local home.
