***** Quilts of Hope *****

Quilt makers nationwide are reaching out to families affected by the devastation from hurricane Ike by offering their love through quilts that they have made -- what we are calling "Quilts of Hope". Quilts are being collected by Quilts 'N Kaboodle in Bacliff and being distributed throughout Galveston County as they arrive. Your quilt was made by.... wouldn't you love to have your name here? knowing that you were making a difference, one quilt at a time?
