QUILTS
2018 1st Trimester: Camp Erin, a camp for grieving children. When the campers arrive, they are greeted with a teddy bear and a quilt on their bunks. Quilts for camp Erin should be twin sized (minimum 39"x 76") and be child appropriate in theme and fabric. Campers are aged 6-17 and the camp often has a special need for quilts that may appeal to boys, especially teen boys. Join a PMQG Charity Day, or bring finished quilts (quilted or not) to any meeting or PMQG event to help with this charity.
More information about quilts for Camp Erin can be found here.
Ongoing: Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Doernbecher Children's Hospital
The PICU unit would like to receive quilts from 36" x 36" to twin sized. Boy-friendly quilts are always in high demand.
From their website: "We provide care to critically ill or injured pediatric patients from birth to young adulthood. The PICU team cares for children across a vast spectrum of health issues including trauma, surgery, respiratory, cardiac, hematology/oncology and neurologic disorders."
