Even though I haven't made any quilts to donate, I was able to support the shipment of the quilts. I guess quilters are a rare breed.. Hope it grows!!!
I agree that quilters are a rare breed! Love the kind hearts of quilters that will step in and offer fabric, notions, quilts, etc. to anyone.

I am sure that there are a lot of quilters on this board who quilt for different areas where there is a need. My hat is off to all of you. The GA Chapter of Quilts for Kids was organized here in my hometown only 4 years ago. There were quilters in other states who joined us also. Together we have donated over 1000 quilts to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. If you do not have a chapter near you, then you can join one like us. We also sent quilts to Japan after the tsunami and to North Ga. after a tornado. There were many ladies that went through that storm that quilted for our group and a favorite Quilt shop that didn't make it. God bless every one of you who quilt for a cause, and those who give your support. ISN'T THIS A GREAT PLACE.

I too make a lot of Quilts for Kids. It is so much fun to work with the different fabrics and wild colors. However, I have been having a problem in finding where to send them. I used to send them to Wisconsin but she does not do this anymore. Does anyone know of a spot in Illinois that is still doing Quilts for Kids? I can't seem to find one.

Is there a children's hospital in your area? That is a great place to donate. Very sick kids or those who have been abused really need the love and comfort. Google children's hospitals in your area and you can contact them via email and ask about donations.
