Veterns wheelchair quilts
#1
*I'm ALWAYS in need of cotton, flannell, & fleece,fabric/batting..... if anyone has some they want to donate... PM me for an address*
* I am also working with Kriscraft99 if anyone wishes to make donation towards " items for Veterns"*
Thanks to everyone that has already donated so many wonderful things!!
The Veterns eyes light up when they realize u have brought them a gift......... some have very little to call their own any more..... and these items dont just sit on a shelf.... they re functional to keep them warm and a bit more independant!
Have u ever tried to carry things while using a walker???? I have.. its difficult!
If the snow doesn't keep us in this week , I will be delivering 4 w/c quilts. 12 walker bags to local Veterns

Just wondering some questions:
Is there a set of quidelines that you use for making these?
ie: Size, materials used, colors?
Do you ever put in pockets on the quilts?
