Almost halfway through October already! I swear every year passes faster than the last. Jan recently sent in these 4 great red white and blue quilts for Covered in Love.
There are lots of veterans in the hospital, so patriotic quilts are always a big hit. I'll be getting all the stars from the summer block drive done soon, but we always need more :)
I'm guessing Jan uses a high loft poly batting because these are light and very soft and fluffy. They're generously sized and will be perfect for a family to take home.
These quilts came already finished, all I needed to do was add a label. Thank you soooo much Jan! I'm continuously amazed by how quilters around the country and even around the world shower love onto one little Texas community.
PS - the kittens are doing great! This week they should start eating kitten milk and soft food without a bottle and learning to use the litter box. I can't wait! Waking up every 4 hours to feed and potty is exhausting.
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 300 so far! The Sept/Oct drive is a repeat of one of my old favorites, the grown-up eye-spy quilt. Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

So generous, beautiful quilts for a lot of love to give
ReplyDeleteYour posts are so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteJan's quilts will certainly warm someone's heart who is going through a difficult time. Thank you for what you are providing these people.
ReplyDeleteThe Patriotic quilts are lovely! Glad the kitties are doing well!
ReplyDeleteJan's quilts look wonderfully cozy. I'm sure they will appeal to the recipients and their families. Having kittens sounds as exhausting as taking care of a baby. They are really cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat great quilts for a wonderful cause!
ReplyDeleteLovely and patriotic quilts always look comfy.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Jan for such beautiful quilts for your hospital patients. The families will surely treasure these. It's so amazing to see how much is contributed to your wonderful cause.
ReplyDeleteThose little kittens are so precious. Looks like you are taking really good care of them....just like a mommy should. :)
Love, love, LOVE the patriotic quilts!! You are right. A family will be pleased to receive any of them!
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilts! Many thanks to Jan! My favorite is the hourglass one with the white/cream background. Very modern :)
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful donations, and how nice to have them come finished.
