I sew for Project Linus. It's so easy for me and fun to make tops that are finished by other volunteers. Our coordinator works real hard at it. Of course, she couldn't do it without a lot of help, but she's the one who buys a lot of the supplies, makes contacts and deliveries after checking out the quilts and washing them, too. It is truly a full time job for her. We cover a pretty wide area here in central VA. Years ago I was with a guild and we made quilts for an unwed mothers' group. Honestly, some of them were terrible. Who wants a brown quilt made out of fabric that should have been discarded for their lovely new baby? I did deliver some of those to the animal shelter but never told the ladies. I did wash the whole bunch of those since some smelled like cigarettes. Surprising what some people tell themselves they are donating in good faith--I didn't see some of the donations that way.
