Our 16 member strong local branch of the Modern Quilt Guild is committed to making enough donation quilts to provide one for each teen aging out of the Foster Care system. Last year there were 27, this year our goal is 30. It's a great cause, and I applaud what you are doing! <br /><br />I've also created a jumbo pile of blocks for Alison's Soy Amado project. Very fulfilling!lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626715334001203401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285076373350210119.post-35673164437277435632014-04-03T00:10:16.400-04:002014-04-03T00:10:16.400-04:00Lovely.

I live in the Washington, DC area and I too give my quilts to MYOB but I'd love to help start a chapter here as well. I grew up in Michigan near the Ohio border so it isn't quite as ironic to me, but having an organization closer to home would be great. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

Don't use horrible fabric just to say you contributed. <br /><br />I felt the same as you - there are needs in my own little community. My current community is Dallas and there are many organizations here so I looked "back home" and realized the Ronald McDonald House probably needed assistance. I started contributing baby quilts to this location when I realized my mother knows the director. I rarely put labels on donation quilts because I'm not sure I want my name out there but by chance I did one time and that particular quilt ended up in a NICU unit where a childhood friend is a nurse. That quilt not only (hopefully) brought comfort to a family but renewed a childhood friendship separated by time and distance. I now give quilts directly to my friend to give to her babies.<br /><br />Thanks for the blog entry. I hope to be able to contribute.Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502089801927429325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285076373350210119.post-67179752597367266462014-03-31T10:42:21.428-04:002014-03-31T10:42:21.428-04:00I like this idea!
