    I'm collecting fabrics for charity quilts which is why I'm hosting the swaps. I do have other projects I'd also like to complete someday for family members but have been slow to tackle them.

    For those of you interested in volunteering supplies and/or time, the following link is available for just a few of the many charities who would sincerely appreciate it. If you'd like to add a program you work with, please do so.

    The two I've been helping with are hospice quilters (supplies) & RSVP with charity blocks for fundraiser quilts and supplies. I'd like to add a children's organization but haven't decided on one yet. Thanks.

    Hospice Foundation of America has a brief overview but many volunteers have family members that were touched by a specific hospice group. Check out your local hospice organization such as VNA to see how you can help out. Ours has a great group of volunteers able to make quilts and just needed supplies for now.
