There are lots of charities out there who want our quilts.
I have a few that I give away and don't worry or be concerned about where they go. However for the bulk of even the simple quilts I want to know how they are being used. For instanve, I no long make quilts for the nursery at the local hospital. However, I make them because they are going to children in respietory therapy unit. I no longer make a quilt for a loal Christma event beause I thought my smal piece which had taken me off an on over a week to make was not being autioned but given a a door prize. For me it is more satisfying to know where they are going and how they are being used.

My miniature horse club does baby blankets for unwed mothers home, quilt pads for seniors, hats and scarves for mentaly challenged young adults, childrens home, and the list goes on. Also mistakes that can't be fix go to the animal shelter.. Also doing horse quilt to raffle at one of our shows. We answer all calls and pick what we have the time to do, spring/summer is horse's late fall until spring is handiwork...
