We have the opportunity to make an heirloom quilt for a child entering Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas.  In addition to the guildelines listed below, I ask you to keep in mind these quilts will be used, washed, drug around, caught in wheels and loved to death.  Therefore, I’m asking you to do your very best work   After all, your quilt may be the only one this child ever receives.  You’ll be touching a heart bridging the gap that connects two lives.  A quilt sewn with attention to detail and of course love will warm and comfort a sick or injured child.  There is no telling what it will do for you.

The Angel Quilt program will run January through November of each year.
