Contact your local quilt guild and see who they sew for. One guild that I belong to made over 450 quilts last year for child protective services to give to kids going out to foster homes. The other guild made over 160 quilts for the sheriff's dept to give to kids in domestic violence shelters. There is such a great need for kid's quilts, and the stories that we hear back from appreciative kids keeps us sewing even harder. Most of our fabric comes from quilters who pass away and leave us their enormous stashes. Another great thing from sewing for these kids is that I've met some wonderful quilters and don't want to miss our weekly sewing get togethers. Sewing for others makes it a treat when I get to make something for myself or family!!
