I too wonder about who the recipient of your quilt might be. Will it be someone who will cherish having received the quilt or will it only be taken home and stuffed in a closet or worse yet used to bed pets? Will jealousy rear its ugly head and cause trouble among family members if someone feels the quilt was received by the wrong person? This is no small gift and I somehow feel the games could better be played with smaller, less valuable gifts as prizes. Do you have children or young people in your group? How about putting the quilt in a pretty Christmas bag and taking these young people with you to present the quilt to someone who may appreciate it more than you know. Do you have an older person who lives alone, an elderly couple who are trying to squeeze by on a fixed income, a family or individual who has been experiencing recent grief or serious illness? There are many needy among us. Surely your pastor or a community organization can recommend someone if you don't have a person in mind. Eat your meal, then load up the car and deliver the quilt. This just might warm the heart and body of someone who would love to receive it and it would be a nice giving lesson for the young people in your group. This thought just came to mind and may or may not fit your plans. Happy Holidays!
