Did a count today and as of Sat. Sept. 17th 402...yes 402 households have received their quilts. What an amazing world of quilters there are out there. So only another 330 households to go ....As well a total of 340 quilts have been given to children in these homes. That makes a total of 742 quilts gifted .
The past three weeks since the Quilt Show have seen another 187 quilts arrive from Whitecourt, Brooks,Fort Saskatchewan,and Drayton Valley in Alberta....Barriere and Houston in B.C....Thunder Bay and Burlington in Ontario,..as well as Yellowknife...P.E.I. and Nutrioso,Arizona. Thank you..thank you each and every one of you.
If you are just learning of this project and would like to donate a quilt it is the household size that we keep falling short on now. Size for them has varied from a small lap quilt to bed size .
