We make quilts for kids. The size of our quilts are 45" x 60". We make a few baby quilts that are 36" x 42". We sent over 1,000 quilts to MS after Hurricane Katrina. Then we became a non-profit. All of our quilts are made by volunteers, mostly in the area. We have received quilts from several states. Since Katrina we have given about 1,000 more quilts to kids, 425 of those were sent (by World Vision) to eastern Europe in Jan 2009 when it was bitter cold there. We give quilts to local food banks, police and fire departments. In October 2009 we sent 50 to Haiti, others went to Africa and Mexico. Our goal is one million quilts for kids. Don't know how long that will take. Check out our blog on kidzquiltz.blogspot.com. We have been donated new jeans and shirts to make into quilts. I had to sign an avidavid to destroy the jeans, and make them into quilts. I would be willing to share some with you. Could you use them? The boxes are quite heavy. Them make beautiful quilts.
