    On Monday, my supervisor & I went to Texas to deliver quilts to 2 nursing homes. This was boss' first time experience giving to a nursing home resident. He thoroughly enjoyed the feeling. Hope you enjoy looking. Thanks.

    That is so wonderful!! I remember when you first became a member and I read all about the project you are involved in with the inmates. They raelly do make some beautiful quilts, you have taught them well.

    Yes, these are the inmates' quilts. They really do a nice job. Thanks for all the compliments!!!

    It's hard to see the Warden in the 1st photo - he's in the back on the left - kinda blended into the background! ☺

    Thank you very much for sharing this with us all. I have gone up in "goosies bumps". Am i correct in seeing that all the nursing staff got a quilt and also the resident (patients) also.

    Who donates the material for the quilts to be made? You did a fantastic job in teaching them to quilt :thumbup:
