Baby Quilts for Hope Center
During the 2010 Quilting retreat, 22 baby quilts were knotted by 3 women. MaryAnne, MaryBeth and Marty worked all day knotting the quilts. When 2 of the women had to leave Marty continued knotting the baby quilts for another day and half until all 22 were completed. Although her fingers are crooked and she has some pain in them, she knotted for 3 days. I thank each one of these ladies for all their hard work.
I will continue making more baby quilts, but at a slower pace than I have in the past few months, so that later in the year more quilts can be donated. At the residential home where I volunteer and am helping the young ladies learn some sewing/quilting skills, some of the ladies have expressed an interest in them making some baby quilts for the Hope Center. I believe this will be very rewarding for these ladies who struggle with problems of their own to give of themselves and their time to help others.
