What an incredible story and such a beautiful little boy. You go, Charlie! <BR/><BR/>Heidi, there are several projects here in California where women make quilts with fabrics donated. I have a friend who sews for such a group and they also make quilts for military families as well. The recipients are always grateful. Jean, at In The Garden With Miss Jean, is part of such a group and also get quilts donated by quilt shops to give away. You may want to check her blog and talk to her about this. <BR/><BR/>All of the quilts here are fabulous. My heart went pitter patter when seeing the boats and the red and white one. Skip, leap, jump! Checking pulse....ok now.<BR/><BR/>love ya,<BR/>BeckySweet Cottage Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585280807777813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32907900.post-13070061321557159162008-06-08T19:46:00.000+02:002008-06-08T19:46:00.000+02:00How sad that the sick children in Holland missed o...How sad that the sick children in Holland missed out on these gorgeous quilts.<BR/>It's a wonderful thing that you and the quilt group ladies are doing and I'm glad that those quilts are bringing smiles to sick children around the world.<BR/>Charlie is a real cutie.Solstitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260159368062358237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32907900.post-7174361180354995412008-06-08T17:39:00.000+02:002008-06-08T17:39:00.000+02:00Charlie's smile says it all!Charlie's smile says it all!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32907900.post-90754148710308452482008-06-07T00:28:00.000+02:002008-06-07T00:28:00.000+02:00what a cutie on your quilt!what a cutie on your quilt!Susan in SChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184029085198624077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32907900.post-53809334177539423162008-06-06T21:27:00.000+02:002008-06-06T21:27:00.000+02:00Thank you all for your comments on Charlie.

I know Amy really loves the quilt and will treasure it. When all the family donated the fabrics, we never thought one of our own would receive a quilt. Happily this one is going to be fine. <BR/>The Shriners Childrens Hospital was were the first group went. I know that last one you showed went to a little boy under two.
