Some people make cute little quilts for the children at our local children's cancer hospital. Those children are in the hospital sometimes for many months. It's a sweet comfort for the children and their parents to have a handmade special gift like the quilt.
I was at the hospital bedside when my little friend died. She and her momma had that special quilt over them as they snuggled during her last hours. After the little girl died, the momma kept the quilt with her, and wrapped it around herself for comfort. It was very precious to her.
I know some quilting guilds also make quilts for wounded servicemen and women while they stay in the military hospitals.
People who quilt bless many other people with their gifts.
