I have also recently received a packet of information about donating quilts to our local kid's hospital here in Indy, Riley Children's Hospital. I can only imagine how much comfort a snuggly, fun quilt can provide to those poor kids in there.
Lastly, I signed up to complete 4 blocks using Amy Butler's Lotus fabric for the Cancer is Sew Done group. I lost a grandmother to leukemia about 9 years ago, and a little boy I used to baby sit has been fighting a rare form of leukemia himself these past few months. I love the idea that all of us quilters can do a block or two and those wonderful ladies will assemble them and auction them off, then donate the proceeds to Alex's Lemonade Stand.

Okay, so I'm a total follower. I've been lurking on Cancer is Sew Done, thinking selfishly of all the Christmas gifts I'd yet to finish. Now that I'm all finished, I hadn't given it another thought. Then I read your post...and now I'm signed up. Thanks for the bit of encouragement!!!
