The proof is in the pudding

If you ever wondered if the quilt you made would be appreciated, look no further. I am the chairperson of my guilds' community quilts program and yesterday we delivered quilts to our local Head Start school. This is an annual event for us and one that never ceases to warm the heart. We put the quilts out on a table in each classroom, and each of the children got to choose their own.










These children were so excited and just cuddled those quilts! We distributed 74 quilts this time, and from the look on these faces, I'd have to say that I believe we ARE making a difference; one quilt at a time.


Tomorrow morning, I'm driving up to Jacksonville for Quilt Fest! Of course they are having terrible wind, rains, and flooding there this week :-( It'll probably be a nasty trip up but fun once I get there....maybe it won't be as bad as they're predicting....hate to think of driving 5 hours in the yuck! Oh well..... I'll take lots of photos!

  3. The pictures of those children are wonderful. All the hours of work are certainly more than worth it to see those precious faces happy to cuddle their own quilt.

  7. I am looking at the Florida radar and it looks like it's clearing in Jax. Unfortunatly, it also looks like Naples is getting slammed with rain. It's still pretty dry here on the east side.
