What an amazing gift to receive from that nearby fabric designer who would never had known about your group's good deeds without the newspaper article. It does pay to advertise. That was a great gift of fabric, I'd love to be there to help you go through it, feel it, decide what to make and have the satisfaction of knowing that a quilt you made brings comfort to sick children. God bless you and your group.

They also listed info for Quilts for Kids and my e-mail address.
Well in the afternoon of the article appearing in the paper -- I received several e-mails. One was from a Fabric Designer, who unbeknownst to me, lives a short distance from me. She donated all of her 2 yard samples that the fabric company sends her to me for future Quilts for Kids. Three plastic tubs full -- how awesome!!! Now to get off this quilting board and get sewing!
