Rather than share some finishes today, I thought I would share how generous the hospital we work with
is - we give quilts to them and they give to us!
Our quilts are all delivered and controlled by the volunteer office. Recently I reached out to my contact there to see if she knew of any grants the hospital might have that we could apply for. When she heard we were getting short on batting, she made sure two bolts were shipped to my doorstep.
Then this last week, they contacted us to say they received a large donation of fabric and wanted to offer us whatever we could use. A HUGE thanks to Janet for heading over there to sort through and grab some of the items we thought we could use. We filled the cart!
I haven't seen everything that is in this shipment. But I do think there are lots of precuts, some yardage pieces and a whole bunch of cut squares and orphan blocks. We don't have the time to go through all of this now, so it is parked in my longarm studio. This was the first time Janet picked through essentially someone's sewing room so we want to go through it together so I can give her feedback. From a quick glance, I think she did really well!
Thank you so very much Sacred Heart Hospital for thinking of us and supporting Many Hands and Many Hearts. These supplies will be used not only for the donation quilts we send to them,
but it will help us ship quilts to other organizations as well!

How nice to have batting donation to support the ongoing quilt making effort. That should keep you in action for a while!
Wow! How cool that they give back so you can do more.
This is such a thoughtful and generous gift that will, in turn, bring warmth and comfort to so many. So pleased that you have a good partnership with the hospital.
Enjoy your weekend.

Batting donations are the best kind of donation! I can't believe how much batting has increased in price since COVID.
Isnt that wonderful. Batting and backings for donation quilts are essential, but can be very expensive.
That's awesome!!!
They clearly deeply value what you are doing for them a lot!!
