Hi,
I'm interested in making lap sized (or even small throw sized) quilts for a charity, but do not know of a charity that needs them. I checked with our local cancer center, and they don't need any quilts. I just want to be able to make some lap sized quilts to decrease my stash and enjoy making smaller projects.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

My daughter has had foster children for several years. DCS takes them to wal-mart at Christmas and buys a few things for Christmas. But never a blanket or quilt. I think my daughter is on her 13th child. She is picking up her very first one she got at 6 days old and she keeps him on week ends and helps the people that are rasing him. Her little foster girl is fixing to go visit someone today for the first time and they are going to put her with them if she will stay as they are supposed to be kin to her. She loves my daughter and hangs onto her all the time. This is gonna be hard for her and my daughter. I hope you all have a good DCS in your area.

Our guild makes and donates to the NICU units at the local hospital. They are 36" square. They always need them.
We donate about 25-30 per month. So you might want to look in tat directions.
We also donate to the local VA hospital onc a year and sometimes it is 10 quilts. Nusing Homes for he wheel chair patients, usually those are 45" square.

Sometimes the police department requests them for accident victims. I donate them to the local hospital as we are on the Mexican border and the mothers sneak across the border to give birth to the anchor babies

You could contact any of the area Dialysis centers. When mom was going she was always chilled by the time her treatment was over. We finally started taking a throw with us. I have since made several that they can offer to the clients. I always make a tote bag so they can carry it with them. I also donate used paperback books for them to read during treatments.
