I'm so proud of the quilting group I belong to at our RV park in the Rio Grande Valley. Today ladies from our group delivered 75 quilts, 40-some little dresses, some other clothing, boxes and boxes of toys and food collected at our park to a "colonia" of very needy people here in the valley. These people are so grateful for the smallest things, really heart-warming.

One of the greatest joy that we give to ourselves, is to give to others.

Bless you and your wonderful group.

Yes, it makes a person feel good to know you lift someone else up a bit. Our guild does kids quilts and donate to an abuse center. Kids from 12 counties are served there when there has been abuse. Some have never had anything of their own, and they cannot believe they get to KEEP the quilt they pick out. Sad, but heartwarming that we can offer them a bit of joy.

Chickerson 12-16-2010 04:47 AM

God bless each of you for the blessings you gave away. I'm sure each item will be well loved.
Blessings bunches and Merry Christmas

That is awesome!!! We are in the "Valley" also, and our park collects coats for kids. The Winter Texans do a lot for the needy down here.

I've pm'd you.

My hat is off to you gals. That was such a nice thing for your group to do.

dls 12-16-2010 05:40 AM

Our quilting group, also in a park in the Rio Grande Valley, delivered about 40 quilts to a school on Tuesday. The children were so excited and we were very humbled. It was sad though to be in a library that had very few books. Maybe that will create a new project.

sueisallaboutquilts 12-16-2010 05:55 AM

What a wonderful post!! God bless all of you and thanks for sharing the joy with us :D

sounds like you belong to a very caring group -what big hearts you have. You all must feel 'warm' inside.

quilttiludrop 12-16-2010 06:49 AM

It is more blessed to give than to receive. It's nice for the gift quilts to be received with enthusiasm also, and really meet a need! God bless you and your group!

We do deliver quilts all season to various places. We make about 10 each week but save enough childrens' quilts for the school at Christmas.
