Hello All, I work with a great group of ladies making quilts for those that are less fortunate. We make the quilts all year round and then donate them to the local shelters and directly to those that find themselves living on the streets when the weather turns cold. We use almost all donated materials to make the quilts. We try to use nylon type materials, not only nylon but light weight materials, because it tends to dry much faster than other materials. We are always in dire need of materials. We have received a lot of old suits from my daughter's swim team and have found it very usefull. Her coach suggested that I try posting on the internet to see if others would be interested in helping our cause, so here it is! We cut the suits into smaller pieces we can use so the condition of the suits does not matter at all(we have received some that were just pieces). I was wondering if any of you would be interested in donating your old suits to a worthwhile cause? It is also a great way to recycle the old suits and keep them out of the landfills! If you are interested you can post here or email us at Quilts4homeless@yahoo.com
God Bless,

Hello,
I would like to start by sending a huge THANK YOU to everyone who sent us their old suits! They have all been put to good use in the quilts.
Sadly I lost my grandmother to cancer since my last post. She is the one who started the quilts for homeless project with her quilting group. We have continued working on the quilts in her memory. It has been therapuetic to get together with the group since it is mostly family and close friends. We have been able to do more quilts through this winter than any year before! We are very thankfull to the great people like you that help us keep going with this great project.
We are always in need of materials, so I hope that you will keep us in mind in the future!
God Bless,
Jennifer
