Like fishing
This is a reminder that quilting for charity is similar to catch and release in fishing. For those of us who have been making charity quilts exclusively long term, we learn early to make and release. We are motivated by the stories we hear like I did from my physical therapist.
Our guild gives a quilt to every pediatric patient in the local hospital. My PT’s four year old had to have surgery. At eight years old he slept with his quilt every night. It went with him if they traveled even. That story alone fuels my commitment.
