Hello and welcome from SW Colorado. Love your truck quilt. Where did you find the pattern? I have a great grand son who is nuts about trucks and would love to make him one. Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome, No I don't belong to any. Sure wish we had a decent fabric store here.

Have you tried amazing quilts? They are pretty good.

Hi and Welcome from Avondale, AZ the home of PIR the home of NASCAR Racing. You may actually contact the activity director at your local nursing homes. She may have some ideas of who to contact for donations from family members or local organizations. ie. Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, etc.

Thank you so much. We were just in Avondale a few months ago. My husband was stationed at Luke many years ago and we used to go eat at Arturo's Mexican on Van Buren. The closed after about 40 years. Miss that place. I will take your advice on the Chamber and Rotary clubs. Merry Christmas

We are huge Nascar fans. In fact our son got engaged at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the Start/Finish line a few years ago.

We have Amazing Quilts in Pinetop which has lots of great fabrics and variety. I can give you the name of someone else who has started a little shop in her home--great prices, so pm me if interested.

We love Show Low also. found it accidently about 10 years ago and two years later bought land. Built our own log home we currently live in. Now I am trying to teach myself to quilt. We are expecting 5-10" of that nasty white stuff tonight, but now sure we will get much. Temps are in the mid 40's

Welcome from AZ. For donations of batting and fabric, check with local churches, or guilds and let them know the donations are for charity quilts. Do you know anyone that belongs to the VELDA ROSE CHURCH group? I understand it is a large group. They may be able to help.
