I have a Daughter in-law that has a sister and nephew that lived in a mobile home next to each other and they lost everything, this was in IL. Seems like this year has been the worst whether ever. We got up to snow this morning.

So many groups will not take GOOD used clothes. Daughter and friends and I have very nice things we could donate( more clothes than cash), but don't know where they will be welcomed.
Does anyone have any ideas or contacts?

My sister is one of the fortunate ones in Joplin to have come out of this disaster without any property damage. I have a strange sense that my quilts I have been making for "no apparent reason" now have a reason! My middle name happens to be Ella. I am going to send you a PM so that I can send off these baby quilts.
Warm feeling inside,

As I was telling her in my reply, in this part of the mid-west we are used to doing what ever is needed to take care of ourselves. It is so humbeling to be offered the gift of a quilt. I am new to quilting and really don't have a stash (as you all call it) yet. But will build one to have material ready to be able to send a quilt made with love to someone else some day.
