Calling For Samples and Volunteers

The purpose of this blog is to unite quilters who feel a need to take care of others; which is what we are supposed to do anyway; help someone in need and it comes full circle. I've tested the theory and it works!

Our quilts will remain anonymous to the recipients but are put together totally by donated materials,old clothing (wool and cotton only please) and are made in all sizes. They are available by request on letterhead from any fire department, charity, church, etc.

They are made for the people of the United States only. There are plenty of groups out there with far bigger budgets than ours to take care of the rest of the world. We work strictly on a volunteer basis. You donate whatever you can, scraps, clothes, thread, pins, batting, backing, tieing material, you can think it, we can use it.

We are a grass roots organization trying to make a difference, not only in an instant gratification society but in an economy that has seen its up side and is now seeing its down size and we will be needed even more.

Should you have any desire to donate anything, even your time (perhaps you like to quilt but not assemble, or visa versa) do phone work to see who needs things, just cut pieces, iron pieces of scrap, whatever, feel free to write and let us know.

Because this is an organization that wants NO credit for what it does, we go strictly by a name and take no credit for what we do. We are underground, so to speak and the quilts magically appear when needed.

Interested? Join us! email us at baxterscanoes@att.net for questions and answers. I will try and post some pictures next week of quilts that have been completed and given homes. Also some in various stages of progress.
