I recently came across an organization dedicated to making quilts for sick children. The organization is called Quilts for Kids and has partnered with Downy's "Touch of Comfort" campaign.
The organization obtains left-over quilting fabric from textile mills and sends out quilting kits to volunteers. The volunteers complete the patchwork and sew together the quilts. The finished quilts are then returned to the Quilts for Kids headquarters where they are distributed to a number of children's hospitals.
Therefore, please consider requesting a kit or two and making a quilt for a sick child. If you do not wish to make a quilt using the kits provided by the organization, you may use your own stash of fabric. Cash donations are also needed to cover the shipping, fabric, and administrative costs of the program.
Please check out the the website: Quilts for Kids.
