Many times over the past year I've mentioned the group I'm in, making "ugly quilts" for the homeless. I finally got a few pic's. We have made over the last 15 years, 15,000 ugly quilts, and donate to the Salvation Army, who distributes them. We've also given to the police, fire department, various churches and city employees to pass out when they see a need. It's a very rewarding experience, and we even have a few DH, including mine. He will pick up the donations we get from various groups, helps assemble the quilts and then delivers them to the Sal. Army. Outside of quilts are any type dark material, bed spreads. Inside batting are donated blankets or bed pads, and inside of quilt have a sheet. Here are a few pic's:

Your group should be very proud of it's accomplishments and I bet that the quilt recipients do not think they are at all ugly.

You and your group are such an inspiration! Congratulations on a job well done. And everyone in the pictures look so happy, that kind of says it all.

that is great.

What a wonderful group. I sure all the recipients truly appreciate all the love that has gone into the work of each and every quilt.
|
Great! I'm sure that the people are very grateful and I doubt that they are all that ugly. The pictures I saw weren't.
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.? |
Well done, ladies & gentlemen.
|
What a wonderful organization :)
|
What a wonderful group of folks you all are :-D
There was a need and you stepped up and filled it admirably :thumbup: You look so well organized and what a wonderful space you have to work in. A pat on the back and a big hug for all of you from me :thumbup: |
What a great ministry! Two years ago we started making dresses for our mission team to take to Brazil. Now we're doing much more, including making quilts for the Christian Appalachian Project, which gives quilts, made from our scraps, to children in Appalachia. It is soooo rewarding. This gives me a new idea!
|
I'm sure the receipenta just love them and really appreciate them. You are doing such a wonderful thing for the homeless. Thank you for the job well done and for the inspiration.
