I make Baby quilts for our local Hospital. The larger ones i make are just because i want to try a new pattern. If i know someone who wants or needs a quilt...it's their's. There are so many places to donate that one could quilt forever and never have enough.

I make quilts because I love the process of making them! Eventually they all find a home. Someone's birthday, a special occasion, an illness or sadness that requires a "fabric hug". Some of them just stay with me because I can't bear to let them go! (yet)

Mostly I make quilts with no one particular in mind. My quilt production is mighty slow, though, and I have no finished quilts needing a home right now... just lots of quilt tops + several WIPs, both piecing & quilting.

I've made 8 and have given them to grandkids...have 5 more to go for them and then will start on one for DH and then my kids. I'm trying to come up with ideas for two grown boys right now...both graduated from school. Have no idea what to do...maybe a rag quilt...perhaps 2 rag quilts!! They live in two different states and would never know they are alike!! LOL! But won't work too hard on them before Christmas, anyway, so I have time to think on it.

:P Heavens to betsy,
There are a million places to give quilts--they don't have to be big. Pillowcases for children, lap quilts and medium quilts to ANY organization-Quilts of Valor, baby quilts for all the hospitals, for dialysis centers, animal centers for dogs and cats--okay it isn't a "person" to give it to, but imagine how thrilled someone would be to get something from someone that cared. Get to sewing ya'll.
