Our guild donates hundreds of quilts a year to folks in our area.
There is a group around Toledo Ohio who make and distribute thousands of homemade quilts to hospitals and charities.
Some are taken to distribute in disaster areas for comfort and cheer.
This has been going on for years all done by women together.
Some together and most on their own time at home.
Most make them with their own purchased fabric. At their own expense.
