Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the very valuable service you are providing. I am sure these most beautiful quilts do exactly what they are made for...giving comfort and warmth when life hits a rough patch.

Great quilts made by great people who need a big thank you from all, the people who get them and the people who don't have a project like that to do.

What a marvelous project. My hat is off to you!

This is fabulous, kudos to you I work with the homeless downtown and the warmth of blankets is so appreciative. It is cold where I am. I do charity quilts and it gives me such satisfaction.

You and your group are a treasure. Ugly quilts...no such thing. Thank you..

It is more blessed to give than to receive...and your group has given much, so you all are blessed! An inspiration for us all!
God Bless,

I like to make quilts for Project Linus. Figured it would be a good way to practice my piecing and quilting skills. But I get so much more - so many of those kids have nothing but the quilts we make for them.

brenda21 03-10-2011 07:43 PM

What a wonderful thing to do for others :)

GrannyHanaDa 03-10-2011 08:11 PM

What a great bunch of people, to give so much.

quiltedlamb07 03-10-2011 08:23 PM

what blessings you are giving out, thank you

alaskasunshine 03-10-2011 08:41 PM

Jesus said, "If you've done it unto the least of these, you've done it unto me".

Thank you so very much!

HeatherS 03-10-2011 09:07 PM

What fantastic work!. You all deserve the biggest pat on the back. Without angels like you the recipients would be living in a much bleaker world. Congratulations to a wonderful group of people.

What a wonderful group of people to do this work for the homeless. Would love to join a group like this.

Nice work folks.

Nettie Phillips 03-11-2011 08:53 AM

You are doing very good work.

Marvel 03-11-2011 09:13 AM

We make quilts also for families in need. You guys are awesome. Love the bears to go along with them. The police in this area give a stuffed animal to children that are involved in accidents. Your quilts have saved lives and depression I am sure. There is always a need. We should all be challenged to answer this need of the less fortunate.

stitchntimesewing 03-12-2011 07:48 AM

Gifts through the greatful eyes of a receiver are usually beautiful.

Do you request certain items from various organizations? Do you get a lot of clothes, or do you request just things like blankets, sheets, etc.?

I want to thank each and everyone of you for the kind words about our Ugly Quilts Organization. We are truly blessed to be able to help in this way.

We mainly request blankets, spreads and sheets to make the quilts. We also include with the quilts a ditty bag containing various toiletry items, clean t-shirt, pair of socks, and church reading material. We just don't have the room for a lot of clothes, so if we receive that we pass on to other needy organizations.

Have a good week and count your blessings, DonnaB.
