How did you know how many to make....our shelter here will not give out that information of how many children they house.[/quote]

I know the battered women's shelters are very protective of their residents. But I know how many beds they have at the shelter because that was posted on their website. Beyond that, they cannot give any additional information. But I called and said I had around 20 quilts and wanted to know if that was enough for each child to get one for Christmas. The director told me they probably only needed about 15 and any extras they would see that they would be saved for when they were needed. I wanted to give a few extra, because I did not know how many for each gender they needed.[/quote]

Thank you for the information.....that is a wonderful thing to do and it must make you feel all warm inside to know you put a smile on a childs face for the holidays.

Thanks again
