" Donations "

No gimmicks here... just a request to donate
what you can to assist in this ongoing project.


What can I do to help?

  • Make and contribute squares.(3) (See note 3 below)
  • Sew a pre-assembled quilt kit.
  • Contribute $$(1)   It costs about $20 per quilt for mailing as the package must be registered and certified.

What should I do for a square?

  • Write something on the square in your handwriting. Some message of support and/or thanks, gratitude, appreciation... A scripture, a saying you think is appropriate, a quote from an author you like. There are no hard and fast rules. Go with your heart.
    Signing your name, city & state is encouraged and appreciated.. this gives the receiving families a better idea of where this love and support is coming from.

    • Use a sharpie or other permanent marker.
    • Use embroidery, paint pen or permanent stamps to decorate.
    • Permanent heat (iron on) transfers.
    • Patches, decals that can withstand washing and drying.

Is it possible to use a heat transfer that I can print out from my computer and iron it on the fabric?

  • Yes. But remember, the quilt will be washable. So use iron on transfers that can be washed.

Please see the Guide page for instructions on preparing
the fabric before cutting it into squares.
