2014 has been an active year of donating quilts and other items made by the PebbleCreek Quilters. Donations were made to nine different charities in the Southwest Valley. Recipients included:
Southwest Family Advocacy: 39 quilts and seven handmade toys
Hospice of the Valley: 35 quilts
Ryan’s House (Hospice for Children): 14 quilts
ACES (Austin Centers for Exceptional Students): 29 quilts
Luke Air Force Base: two quilts
Aqua Fria: eight lap quilts
Hope’s Closet for New Life Center (Family Shelter): eight quilts and curtains for window
Miscellaneous quilts given by individual quilters: four quilts and 10 pillowcases
Total: 161 quilts, seven handmade toys, 10 pillowcases and curtains
Recently we accepted another charity, The West Valley Hospital Auxiliary. They were in need of flannel receiving blankets for newborn babies to be given to Moms with a need. We immediately donated 22 flannel receiving baby quilts.
While club members enjoy the activity of quilting, they received the additional gratification of seeing their finished products donated to others.
