Places available for donating handmade quilts
As The Baby Quilt Lady, I have designed unique handmade baby quilts for more than two decades. Unique Baby Quilt Boutique has been able to provide baby quilts and personalize handmade baby quilts as ideal presents for the new mothers, baby shower gift ideas, or just that one-of-a-kind keepsake gift for the new baby.
Linus Project
Though The Baby Quilt Lady does design and sell, I also spend many hours donating handmade baby quilts. The Linus Project, a non-profit organization that provides homemade quilts and blankets to children in need, has a local chapter. Though I never know what children come to hold and cuddle with my quilts, just realizing that as I stitch, I also sew my thoughts and prayers for their safety and future into each quilt. I believe that each child needs a chance to grow up in a loving, safe environment.
VITAS Hospice Veteran’s Program
Likewise, donations are made to VITAS Hospice for the veterans. Each person, who has served his/ her country receives a handmade quilt in red, white, and blue. Coupled with, a bedside salute and pinning ceremony. In addition, Veteran Pinning Ceremonies provide an opportunity to acknowledge the military service and
sacrifices made by a Veteran and their family. Furthermore, Hospice organizations are uniquely situated to offer a
final expression of gratitude and appreciation for a Veteran’s service.
Since quilters give of their time and talents, many people of all ages benefit from their beautiful quilts. Look into your area for other locations in which you can donate quilts.
