A giant thank you to the family of Madeline Roberts who recently passed away after 95 years.

We are grateful to her family for sending us 40 completed quilt tops! She had a great sense of color and patterns.

If any of our volunteers want to help with backing and quilting some of these blankets, let me know! In many cases she has also provided backing fabric.

Thank you to all the volunteers who joined today in S**o.

Together we sorted, labeled and bagged 310 blankets and I have just a few bags we didn’t get through.

Most of these will likely deliver to the Rare Disease Programs in June at Camp Sunshine. As many of you know, we typically provide approximately 1,000 blankets a year to the kids attending Camp Sunshine. They have camps all year long but the highest volume is in the next few months.

I was so busy working that I didn’t take nearly enough photos of the volunteers or the blankets. We had so many quilts, afghans and fleece blankets. THANK YOU!!
