I have been so blessed to have so many quilters step up and get quilts out ASAP and I still have 14 quilts that are currently in a variety of stages of completeness.
I cannot tell you how thankful I am to each one of you have answered the call, sent the quilts out and have received or are patiently awaiting pictures from the recipients.
While the need seems to be waning in the area of the local police departments, we have received no requests oddly from any of the local fire fighters.
We have completed many quilts for the CHP, Paradise PD, Cal Trans and are now working on families from the University of Chico police department.
I was hoping to make the trip to the area in January or February, but as life gets in the way, my back has put me down and unable to drive since New Years Eve.. I will get down that way as soon as I can travel and drive myself once again.
It is the goal of Layers of Hope Quilting 911 that quilts go directly from the quilter to the family in need, but if you feel you want to send them to me directly, just send me an email and I will send you my address.
Also, please know we still need quilts for those in need that have not been affected by the fires, so if you want to send a quilt that I can keep on hand to mail out to a first responder going through chemo or another life altering event, please let me know~
Blessings to you all!
