On Saturday, December 2, 2017, Knight's Quilt Shop donated 353 quilts to the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital! This is a new high-record for donated quilts! Thank you so much to our caring quilters who donate so abundantly!! Click below to read more about the Barbara Bush charity (opens as a pdf page):
The children receive a quilt as soon as they are checked in. They also receive a canvas bag with age-appropriate gifts and books, as well as a journal for parents. They get to take it all with them when they get to go home.
We are so excited and grateful to everyone who donated their time, love, and, of course, quilts to this truly special cause. THANK YOU!!
