I try to select a few quilts each year, ones that I've had here living with me for a bit, ones that I can part with happily. This morning I dug these ones out of the cupboard and popped them out on the line to air before sending them off with my daughter.
I just love a quilt stack, don't you?

that's nice it is always nice to see a quilt on the bed at a hospice - when my mom was at one I made sure to bring the quilt from her bed that she loved.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful pile of quilts Linda! I don't know how you can give them away? I know they will bring a great deal of comfort to the recipients.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful, heartfelt reason to donate; so very kind of you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea to donate some quilts, it will warm the people in the hospice..
ReplyDeleteSmiling back here as the cold rain beats down my window. Glad to see your sunshine and warm spirit shared in these quilts. I can only imagine what joy you are able to share. Giving is contagious! May it spread.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful thing to do, Linda! Your bright and happy quilts can't help but bring comfort to people!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts always cheer me up. So generous. . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful way to move the older quilts you've made along. I loved having my own quilt when I was in the hospital and know these people will find your quilts even more meaningful.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ann. My daughter has been on at me for some time now to donate a few quilts, she says they are so loved & well used.
DeleteMy style is a bit bright & bold, but I’m hoping a little splash of colour over Christmas will go down a treat.
And... {wink wink} ... it leaves me with more room for more making!
Lovely lady to donate these beautiful quilts of yours to Hospice!! They will be loved greatly.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely, thoughtful thing to do. I can imagine these quilts will be well-loved and appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI admire your daughter enormously for working for Hospice - it's a hard job and so much needed. We had help from Hospice during my dad's last weeks and their empathy and caring made it more endurable. Your bright beautiful quilts will be welcomed and loved!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very generous way to support those in need. Your quilts are beautiful and will help brighten a very difficult time for many families.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Marie. My style is a bit bright & bold, but I’m hoping a splash of colour over Christmas will go down a treat. Nothing nicer than a homemade quilt on the bed.
DeleteI gave my daughter the little speech, you know, how "every quilt tells a story" and I'm hoping having this sort of different conversation happening with patients & their families could add a little break in an otherwise stressful time. Merry Christmas.
That is a lovely idea. Delightful choices!
ReplyDeleteSew colorful!!! I love them all. I'm sure they will, too. A true comfort.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a generous and very sweet thing to do. It can't help but brighten a few patients lives in a positive way. Your quilts are so happy and bright, they just exude good vibes.:)
