VA Hospital, Las Vegas 2012.

We're currently coordinating quilters to make and send 300 quilts, 50" x 70" or larger for the VA Hospital that will open in 2012.   The quilts are needed by April 1, 2012. 
ANY COLOR, ANY PATTERN !

After Las Vegas, VA   Hospital opens, on to Utah & Florida new VA Hospitals.   Our Veterans are always in need of comfort items!

If you sew / quilt,  make blocks, or quilt tops or a finished quilt.   We use many blocks for "sampler" quilt tops.  

Donate Fabric... 100 % cotton fabric. 

If you wish to purchase just ask the shop owner or staff to be sure it's the right type of fabric.

Most of you know that quilters are generous people.   They spend hours selecting patterns, fabric and making quilts to give them to others.  Without our volunteers we can not be successful.  Quilts warm the heart, body and soul of the recipient, and their families and treating medial personnel.

When we deliver quilts to treating medical professional, no names are requested or given.   We want all patients to have privacy.

We work with groups all across the country and encourage quilts to stay in the local communities of the volunteers.

Jim & Barb Johnston have faced cancer personally.   Barb at the age of 34, and so many others in their families, from 3 months to 84 loved ones suffered from this disease.

Jim and Barb want to see every person with cancer in the USA to receive comfort in simple quilts.  The Johnston's retired to Pahrump NV  In 2000, from Lockport (Buffalo) New York.   

People with cancer, especially Children, Comfort & Community need project are funded with special fundraising events.

Hospitals and medical centers have informed us that they CAN NOT accept quilts with the smell of smoke or strong perfume/orders.  If you smoke please pre wash quilt before dropping off.    This is for the HEALTH of those receiving quilts.
