Quilts for Jack's Basket

Hello, Ties That Bind Quilters.

This is Jack.  He has Down's Syndrome.

Because of him, his family started a 501c3 charity that donates gift baskets to families like theirs, that include a child with Downs Syndrome.
The baskets welcome the baby, and contain items to help the parents cope, and especially to let them know they are not alone.  Each basket includes a blanket or a quilt.  All items are donated.

This year, as part of a charity quilt drive online, I made these quilts for Jack's Basket.  I brought them to the April meeting (I think) and of course I mentioned why I had made them.

May's meeting was cancelled, as you recall, and I was sick with a summer virus when June's meeting rolled around, so I stayed home in bed.
One of you lovely people made these three quilts for Jack's Basket!  Colleen brought them over, and I took these pictures.

These little quilts are terrific!  They're made from novelty fabrics, which you know kids love, with soft batting and cozy flannel on the back.

Both of the blue ones have under the sea themes.  These will be so cute for the babies.

Piggies!  I have to admit, this one is my favorite.  The quilting is great on all of them.

If you are the generous and talented person who made these quilts, could you let us know?

I have already mailed off the quilts I made to Jack's Basket, which is in Utah, since they were due by June 1.

But--what if we filled up another box?
How about this one?

All 3 of the quilts above are already in this box.  There is plenty of room for a few more.

So, if this is something you'd like to do, I will collect finished quilts and mail them to Jack's Basket.  I will do this through the August meeting (August 21, 2019).

They would like quilts that are 36 in. x 36 in., made of soft cotton or flannel.

Please note:  this is NOT an official charity project of Ties That Bind.  We agreed years ago to limit our official giving to local charities.  We are just doing this as individuals.

Thanks to all the quilters who stitch for the joy of others.
