The family has very little as far as posessions. The parents are hard workers. It's just that luck has not been their friend lately. I am making the children eachtheir own little quilt and possibly a pillow case to match.

Problem is, the weather here will be hitting 90-100 degrees soon. Probably won't be much of a need for quilts to stay warm! (Duh). Would it be silly to give them to the children now or should I wait until cooler weather? Don't want to look like I'm just a silly ol' grandma, but would like to help them out.

Guess after all this, my question is.....is there a quilt giving season?

Quilt-giving season is year-round. It is more about the love that went into the making of the quilt than the actual quilt itself. At least that is how I look at it. Most people don't really know how much work goes into the making of one, but they can FEEL the love when they touch it. May sound kinda hokey, but my GKs love when I make them a quilt, no matter how many I make them. Go to it, and enjoy the new family!!!

I completely agree. If it was for just physical comfort you could just give an old army blanket.(well, not too comfy there) but it's the emotional comfort that seems more important at this time. Find out their favorite colors, animals, bugs; make it something solely their own & they'll never forget your kindness.

I think it is kind and generous of you to do this for the children. they will love the quilts.
I want to make a quilt and pillow case for some foster children. My dauhgter is a CASA rep for 3 children at this time. It would give these kids something of their own.

Kids use quilts to lay to watch TV, read, make forts, etc. It gives them comfort all year. Go for it now.

It's always a good time for quilt-giving, especially to kids who may not have a lot right now. They could probably use something of "their very own".

I think there's a time to use but never a time to give.

Quilts are great anytime. It may be to warm to sleep under one but it is never too hot to lay on the floor with one.

It's been 105/106 and I still sleep with a quilt. I really dislike A/C, so I am happy to have a quilt on top of me to bind.

My DGS has his 4th birthday Friday. He wants another Gramma quilt. And he'll get one. He lives in Central KS and it's been in the 100's there already.
