Quilts for West – Week 1

This may get confusing but what I’m going to do is a post each week.  I’ll add to that one post as more quilts arrive, and post it at the top so if you think you’re seeing the same posts over and over . . you are!  🙂

I’m not going to write any little blurbs about the quilts . . just pictures.  Feel free to comment, cheer, run to the sewing room and make more quilts to send!

Quilts Received, Thursday, April 25.

Several of the quilts received today are whole pieces of flannel.  Those are great for babies, small children, as well as the folks from the closest nursing home, which I’ve heard lost everything.  These quilts do not have to be huge . . lap quilts for the old folks, baby quilts, throws . . all are great for those who have lost so much.

  1. Definitely CHEERS! The quilts look fabulous and I know they will be loved and appreciated. Thank you Judy for doing this!

  3. There are some great looking quilts. I know they will be appreciated. Thanks for your efforts. Micki

  8. Nice quilts ladies. I’m sure they will provide many njghts of comfort.

  10. I talked to my brother in law Sunday and he said the nursing home folks lost everything they owned. He’s talking to some of his friends for me to find out where the displaced people are. I want to make sure these beautiful quilts end up in the arms of the West victims, not others. They caught a young couple at one of the drop-off places loading up several appliances for their own use. They weren’t West residents. They weren’t arrested as the goods were free donations. God sees our hearts so they didn’t get away with it, but shame on them. If they need something there are places that can help them without steeling.

  13. Well, mine is #7. I mailed it last Saturday via parcel post. The clerk said est. delivery would be Friday. I”m glad it arrived earlier. It’s fun to see the wonderful variety.

    • The post office must be on their best behavior. I’ve received boxes already from Utah, Illinois, Missouri and I forgot where all else. I think only one of them was sent priority mail. Yay USPS!

  15. I just want to say Bless You Girls!!! Wish I could put one together and get it to you as fast as these women are doing.

  16. Nice! I LOVE that fern fabric in #6! I too, wish I had one or more closer to completion to send…I might have to get in gear…!

  17. I could make 2 or 3 baby quilts this weekend, would anyone be able to quilt them??? I have batting and backing. Sonyawood@tds.net
    Your all doing a wonderful thing, such beautiful quilts. Thank you Judy!!!

  18. I would like to participate but also need a mailing address. Thanks for doing this!

  19. Judy, what a gorgeous array of quilts – how are you getting them to the place they need to be – let me know if I can donate money to help you with that – I’m probably not going to get a quilt in the mail from Australia – but we’ll see!
    regards Debi

  20. Are the strips in #29 and 33 wider than 2.5″? They look wider than the typical jellyroll quilt. I like that idea..wider strips=few strips to make a nice size quilt!!

  22. I know I already posted, but this is just so wonderful & almost overwhelming! What an amazing response you’ve had, Judy!!! I’m so thrilled and can’t wait to send my quilt (which I think I will try to get quilted myself so you don’t have to do it!!!)… Love it!

    🙂

  23. quite a good selection of all sizes of quilts. i see some in there that i’d like to make too. I’m sure they will be well received by all the residents of West, Texas. thanks for doing this Judy, and thanks so much for posting the pics. It’s good to know that we’ll be sharing some much-needed comfort thru our quilts to those who need it most.

  24. Judy. This is what I mean about the majority of your followers are kind, generous, talented, good, good, human beings. When one of those pesky comments come through you should just think’ “Flea! You don’t belong here.” click them away. There are times I need to remind myself there are more good people in the world than bad people. This is where I come.

  25. What a wonderful collection already! This is just terrific to see! Mine should be there today or Monday.
