Great news, huh?
We use these donations to make quilts and also support other quilters who quilt for us (for example, there is a group of men serving life sentences in a prison in Michigan who make quilts for us--we give them fabric to use).
Donations can be sent to:
Margaret's Hope Chest

Grand Rapids, MI 49507
our phone number is (616) 855-2862
One of the reasons I am posting this is because someone was nice enough to have alerted me to this post. Check it out!
All of the quilts pictured below were donated--some came to us as blocks, some came to us as tops, some came to us as scraps. We really do try to use everything we have been given to the best of our ability!

Wonderful tops. I especially like the first one, it just shows what can be done with a small bit of scraps.
I spent this rainy morning finishing up some blocks and a couple of small quilts to send!
YAY! I'm so happy to find another place to send UFOs to! Thank you for linking up!
Great stuff. I am glad you mentioned UFOs. I might actually feel better about getting rid of some if I had a place like yours to give them too. Thank you! I love that first quilt!
Wonderful organization you have and love the idea of the men in prison quilting, useful and creative.
