Gorgeous! Worth the effort of figuring it all out.

Very nice. I would have a hard time donating that one. Glad you do donate. I have an adult care facility that I donate to so I know how much it will be appreciated.

I love the ribbon star pattern. You did a great job.

What a delightful quilt! Thank you for your sharing spirit.

Very nice and what a great thing to do. You are passing on a great blessing.

These babies and their mamas have nothing for the babies that is provided by the state prison system, EVERYTHING, clothing, diapers, formula, bedding, etc. is provided for them by donations. When Peggy heard about it, she decided that every baby needs a quilt to grow up with. The quilts that Peggy makes and sends stay with the babies that they are given to, and go home with the babies when their mamas are released from custody. (It's a condition that the prison people agreed to when Peggy offered to send quilts)
I'm pretty sure that Peggy can use all the help she can get if anyone wants to volunteer or donate! :)

I recently saw a program on TLC channel about this called "Babies Behind Bars"
Who do you contact about donating? Where do you send things to? Can you send gently used clothing or does it have to be new?

To Peggy - Great job! Absolutely beautiful. These women/babies are blessed to have you helping them.

I love this and the idea that it is going to someone who would appreciate a little kindness. Good on you!

Bless you for your hard work. Love the quilt. Know the Stars are the Friendship Star not sure of the pattern placement but really like it. Would like to do one like it. If anyone knows the quilt pattern please let me know. Thanks again for all you hard work. and thanks for sharing. BrendaK
