I have given a handstitched quilt to each of my kids, my gks and my sister's kids and their kids, mom. mil. etc. So now that everyone has one, I make some for me and still make for Project Linus, etc. I love to display my quilts. I buy nice hangers and have them all over. No empty walls in my house. And I have floor quilt racks which hold 3 or 4, I have a 1956 German china cabinet I display folded quilts in. Then all my beds have them. I have baskets on the floor with a couple in each one. Even have them in my kitchen. Guess I have too much time on my hands. I also switch the quilts out during seasons. One idea I got in a magazine, I hang a quilt over my shower curtain which folded, hangs halfway down, doesn't get wet. My house is an 1908 ranch house we redid so I have those wonderful big cabinets on top of the closets and I have quilts folded everywhere. Ok. Maybe I need to get some help. I think I am a little manic about my quilts. LOL

I also have a nursing home here called Mission Granbury and they have lots of my lapquilts and a shop full of yarn and material I donated to the ladies who can still sew and crochet. I do door prizes for lap quilts too. Donate quilts for groups that do auctions for ill people etc. SO many places, so little time.

I have many around the house. My kids all have at least one, right now my kids and all their friends are of "marrying" age and I have (foolishly) been giving everyone a quilt as a wedding gift. I have at least 5 to do this summer.
I have donated quite a few to quilts for kids, to families in Mexico the High Schoolers from our church has built homes for, to my guild, (those go to varying charities) Several places had gotten donated quilts from me, and of course all those married folks who got wedding quilts are starting to have babies!!!

It's great to see so many of you making quilts for other people, and giving them away to charity etc. Quilters are such generous people. I think when you give something you have made you also give something of yourself and you get back in spades the love and caring you put into them. :thumbup:

I make my quilts almost exclusively for Quilts of Valor. Fourteen last year!

Unfortunately most of mine are unquilted tops, and are in a bin just sitting there. One completed one went to Mom, one to my Aunt. I gave a top my grandmother had done that I put borders on and had quilted to my brother, but no one in the family is really interested in or wants my quilts. So, they will just pile up in bins till I'm dead, then go to a garage sale.

If you are interested in using your quilt tops for Quilts of Valor, the organization will match you up with a long-armer. You make the top and buy the back. The long-armer does the quilting and provides the batting. More information at QOVF.org

I have a number on my list that haven't been started. Most of the time when I finish a quilt someone wants another one so they keep me busy.
