Quilts for forest fire victims

We had several local forest fires. Our guild heard there were 100 families burned out, then we heard 10. The actual number of full time resident families was 35. With a lot of help from our friends, including members of this board, we made 36. Some of mine were given out without being shot first. We are very grateful for all of the help we had.

more quilts. I asked for orphan blocks and got a great many. We also got several complete quilts and some tops. The Log Cabin Quilt Guild of Hayfork is grateful for all of the help. I expect that at our guild meeting tomorrow we will begin to hear from the recipients.

Nice quilts and so much work that you all did to make them. I am sure the recipients were happy to get something comforting when it must have been so needed.
