We always use Bradenton as a reference point when we tell people where our condo is, on Anna Maria Island. Glad to see it's warmed up for you! I took my daughter to the Island one year for spring break. She was maybe 10 yrs old and her name is Anna Maria. We had great fun taking pictures of signs with her name on them... Do you rent out the Condo? |
Our church women are making "comfort quilts" They're all new material, cost under $10 each for fabric, batting, and backing (fleece or flannel), and are lap blanket size...40X60 inches...so they won't get hung up in wheel chairs. Many quilters have scraps a plenty, so these can be made for next to nothing out of pocket. We tie them so they can be made in just 8-10 hours each (for simple designs). They're going to 2 local nursing homes.
