Current projects – xray shorts, twin size quilts, hospital gowns

We are almost there…..we promised a total of 240 twin size quilts to Shriners Childrens Hospital and we only need a few more.  If anyone would like to donate a twin size quilt to be used on the patients beds at the hospital, please let us know. It can be hand tied, machine quilted, hand quilted or even store bought.

I bought a really pretty quilt from the flea market in town that had a note on it that there were”no holes or wear on the quilt and it was in good condition”, so I never untied it to check. When I got home to wash it I found the colors had all bled inside and it was terribly stained.  A great disapointment, as I was going to take it to St Louis when I went with our next donation of shorts and personal hygiene items.  Wouldn’t life be a lot nicer if everyone was honest?

Shorts are needed in kids sizes  – S to XL and adult sizes S to 4XL.  The reason for the adult sizes is that Shriners takes older children that sometimes wears as large as 4XL due to medical problems. It is hard enough to be sick and in pain but even worse when there is nothing to fit.  We are also making larger hospital gowns for the older children.  If you would like to sew some hospital gowns or shorts, please do Fun kids print is the best choice for fabric.
