Babies Need Quilts...

One of the great things about being a quilter is the opportunity to create something that brings comfort and warmth. In our community the hospitals are delighted when they receive small quilts which can be given to new mothers and babies as they leave the hospital to go home.

Our local guild, the Boise Basin Quilters, produces about 250 baby quilts each year.  

School Days

Some of the guild members donate fabric, some piece together the tops (Janice does that), some quilt them (I am one of those), and others then bind the quilts.

Each guild meeting new finished quilts are turned in for distribution.
