    Baloonatic,
    There were issues on the site a while ago. I think they give a phone number to call. I wonder if it has to do with your security settings on your own computer.

    I did mine in stages as I can rarely sit in the sewing room for several hours. When I do my next ones, I'll be sure to pre-cut both kits at the same time to quicken my pace.

    :oops: Oops! I thought his was the group for Downs' Sydrome. Thanks.
    You're welcome. There's no reason you couldn't use the patterns for kids locally, though. You'd just use your own fabric, like you would for your second set to return with the kit anyway.

    I got my kit yesterday! Everything was there, just need to figure out how to do the binding. I have the top almost done, only need to add the borders! So much fun!

    I finished my Quilts for kids & mailed it on Jan 13th. Just got an e-mail that they had received it. Took me longer than I thought, but was truly blessed to be able to finish it. I'm feeling so much better last week/week & a half. The Home Health Nurse, Physical Therapist & Bath Aide outdid themselves. Very professional & now I'm out of that awful back pain. When life gives us lemons, make lemonade. I'll post pics of the wonky FMQ I did on it. They want lots of stitches, so they got it with my quilt. I've asked for another quilt kits, so hopefully I get it it much sooner. Made me feel good to do something that is truly a blessing a child somewhere that going through a terrible time. I prayed over it as I went & I hope that the child & their family feel that love I put in it. Gotta get busy.

    I finished my quilt that they sent to me, and before i even started to sew, i cut out one of my own from my stash. I wanted to donate not just my time but even my stash. If we all did that,we would have tons of quilts. I am sure that our efforts are truly appreciated. We could make this three fold...do one, make another and send one cut up. great turnaround, how about it gals? they are so easy and such a small amount of fabric, and its a feel good project.
