For the last year, I've been giving away quilts at work. Other staff had to sign up, and sometimes they had ways to get extra chances. So far, everyone that has won a quilt had contacted me and told me how much they appreciated winning - some with stories of Grandma quilting and how much that means, or that they've been going through a tough time and the quilt really meant something to them. By having them sign up, those that don't think much of a quilt, don't bother going to the trouble to stop in. Of 200 employees, we get about 60-70 that sign up.

I feel good barbecue so far, everyone that has won has turned out to be "quilt worthy" but it helps that I work for an organization that helps Lakota people, and quilts are a special part of their culture.
