Our guild started a charity many years ago for the local hospital. We make baby quilts for all of the babies that need to stay in the neonatal unit at the hospital instead of going home. The proceeds of our quilt show also go to this charity to provide $, gas cards or food vouchers to parents that must travel to be with their babies as much a possible.
So when I post about doing a raffle quilt or two, this is what I do it for. 🙂 And yes, the journalist had the number of baby quilts correct 1300 a year approx. And yes, our guild members are amazing!
